Julia Delia Herrera

Julia Herrera was born on August 26, 1928, in San Antonio, Texas, to Albino Rosales and Soledad Rodriguez. She married Alberto Herrera, and together they raised 10 children. They eventually moved to Houston, Texas, where they established their permanent home in the Heights neighborhood and lived for more than 50 years.

Julia was a devoted homemaker who found great joy in cooking for her family and tending to her beautiful plants. She was well known throughout her community and cherished by many friends and neighbors. A devout Catholic, she was a longtime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, where she generously volunteered her time cooking on Sunday mornings alongside fellow parishioners. She also enjoyed volunteering at the church’s annual bazaar, which was a special part of her involvement in the parish community.

Julia especially loved celebrating the holidays with her family. During the Christmas season, she delighted in decorating her home with her grandchildren. Halloween was another favorite, as she loved dressing up in costume to hand out candy to the neighborhood children. Her festive spirit and love for these traditions created treasured memories for her family.

In her free time, Julia enjoyed playing bingo and visiting the casino, where she could often be found playing the slot machines. She also treasured the times she traveled to California to visit her sister, where the two enjoyed making memories together, including trips to Las Vegas.

Julia is survived by her six children, Alberto Herrera, Jr., Roger Herrera (Cindy), Roberto Herrera, Luis Herrera, Santa Garcia, and Mary Lou Herrera, as well as 20 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. She will be fondly remembered for her warm smile, wonderful sense of humor, and welcoming spirit.
