Dorothy Lee Marie Lozano, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2025, in her hometown of Houston, Texas, at the age of 95.
Born on February 11, 1930, in Houston, Dorothy lived a life full of love, laughter, and generosity. She was the heart of her family and a beacon of warmth to everyone who knew her. A devoted mother, she poured her energy into raising her children and later co-founded Lozano Janitorial Service alongside her husband, Carlos Lozano, building a legacy of hard work and dedication.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Carlos Lozano; her daughter, Linda Marie Villanueva; and her son, Charlie Lozano Jr. Their memories remained close to her heart, and she spoke of them often with love and pride.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Julia Ann Lehmann, as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews who carry forward her joyful spirit and unwavering kindness. While each name could fill a page, their shared love for “Grandma Dorothy” and “Aunt Dorothy” speaks volumes about the impact she had on generations.
She found joy in the simple pleasures—reading a good book, dancing to her favorite tunes, and indulging in Shipley's donuts. Her laughter was contagious, her smile ever-present, and her ability to make everyone feel welcomed and loved was truly unmatched. Social and spirited, Dorothy had a gift for turning strangers into friends and gatherings into cherished memories.

Dorothy’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and community. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
