Angelina Sanchez Perales

Angelina Perales, our “Nani”, was surrounded by the love of her family when she departed from this life on October 8th, 2026. She was born on January 27th, 1927 to Paul and Minnie Sanchez in Houston, Texas. She joins her beloved husband of 60 years, Louis Perales, who preceded her in death.

Throughout her life, Angelina was a devout Catholic who volunteered and supported the church. She enjoyed outings with their church communities, listening to big band music, gardening, and watching Westerns. However, her greatest joy in life were her children and her family. She cherished the times when the family would come together for celebrations, and always looked forward to their traditional Christmas Eve dinner together. She greatly valued this time spent together and taught her children to always rely on one another as their family expanded.

Angelina is survived by her children, Louis G. Perales, Jr., and wife, Mary, Irene McAlpine, Marie Janes and husband, Patrick, and Daniel Perales and wife, Erin; grandchildren, Kimberly Gerrard and husband Chad, Jennifer Perales, Courtney Johnson and husband Nick, Samantha Janes, and Lauren Perales; great-grandchildren, Jacob, Sean and Ryan Carter, and Landon Johnson; numerous nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.

Angelina’s life was rich in love, faith and joy. Her strength of character, deep love of Christ and dedication to helping others had a tremendous impact on her family, friends and everyone she met. We will always remember our beloved Nani for her amazing warmth, strength and kindness.
