Her husband of 42 years, Royce Neal, her baby sister, Eugenia Blomstrom, and the compassionate Divinity Hospice Staff were with her at her home in her bedroom. Carlota received the last rites, a rosary was prayed, a candle flickered in the next room away from her oxygen and she was peaceful, comfortable, and a real trooper as she signaled her farewell by squeezing my hand and grunting at 12:05AM. The veil was lifted, and she gently and peacefully started to walk away with confidence.
Carlota was born in George West Texas to Jose and Jesusa Flores Ybanez as the 5th of 9 siblings. She was our caretaker and was always there for us. Cora leaves behind her beloved husband of 42 years Royce, older sister Olga Diaz, younger sister Eugenia and her husband David Sr, and older brother Francisco, Sonny and wife Tive, and Martin and wife Simona.
She also leaves all her sweet and special nieces and nephews and their offspring too numerous to mention but she loved them all.
She is preceded in death by her parents, brothers Felix Ybanez and Maximillion, sister Carolyn Ruiz her husband Armando Ruiz, and her niece and nephew Denise Bernadette Blomstrom and Albert Lee Ybanez.
Cora was a tiger mom to Eugenia Blomstrom and her children, Deborah Blomstrom Volek and Dr. David Jr. and their offspring Daniel Hunter Bleakney, John Jess Volek, Dominique Denise Blomstrom, and all children.
Cora Ybanez Neal was always a sweet free spirit, left Geroge West Texas, traveled and experienced life and was about love, compassion, and independence. She is loved and missed by all who knew her. Carlota Dominga Ybanez Neal you are loved.
