Ana M Nevarez

She was born on June 10, 1954, in Ysleta, Texas, to the late Ignacio and Socorro Rodarte. Throughout her life, Ana was known for her kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Ana shared many loving years of marriage with her husband, Lorenzo Contreras Nevarez, with whom she built a beautiful family and life together.

She was a devoted and loving mother to Melissa Dianne Nevarez, Miguel Angel Nevarez, Roberto Ramon Nevarez, and Joseph Ignacio Nevarez. She was a proud grandmother to Isaac Anthony Nevarez, Mercedes Nevarez, Adam Daniel Nevarez, Andrew Daniel Menchaca, Aiden Daniel Menchaca, and Abel Daniel Menchaca.

Her family was the center of her life, and she found great joy in spending time with them—sharing meals, stories, and laughter that created lasting memories for generations.

Ana enjoyed sewing and cooking and had a special love for caring for her birds, pets, and plants. Above all, she cherished raising and nurturing her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also found joy in the simple pleasure of fishing.

Ana graduated from El Paso High School in 1972. Later in life, she continued her education and graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a Medical Assistant. She worked as a dietitian and loved helping and serving others. Those who knew her will remember her for her warm heart, generous spirit, and the way she made everyone feel welcomed and cared for.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ignacio and Socorro Rodarte, and her sister, Christina Rodarte.
