Erlinda was born in San Benito, Texas to Juan and Melquiades Gonzalez. Due to her mother’s early death, she was raised by her older sister, Evagelina Pena. In 1959, she married the love of her life, Ramiro N. Davila, and started a family, Maria and Rose. The family moved to Houston in 1963 and were long time parishioners of Resurrection Catholic Church. She was a Stanley Home Products dealer for over 50 years and won numerous top sales awards. She enjoyed quilting, but she enjoyed socializing with friends even more. She is survived by her daughters Maria Davila, husband Mario Garza, Rose Scharning, husband Knut Scharning, and grandchildren, Catherine, Christopher, Axel, and Lukas and sister Evagelina Pena and numerous relatives. We will miss her kind heart, sweet nature, and wonderful laugh.
