Anita Soria

Anita Soria, 99, went home to be with the Lord peacefully on November 3, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 1, 1927, in Rio Hondo, Texas, to the late Lionso Soria and Trinidad Lopez.

Anita will be lovingly remembered for her caring heart, gentle spirit, and the unconditional love she shared with those around her. She embraced life with joy and found happiness in the simple things. She enjoyed traveling, gambling, coloring, working on puzzles, spending time with her family, and reading her Bible. She also made it a daily tradition to pray the Rosary.

Above all, Anita cherished her relationship with God. Her faith was a beautiful and defining part of who she was. It carried her through life’s hardships and brought her strength during difficult times, as well as gratitude during life’s joyful moments. No matter the circumstances, Anita always found a reason to smile. Her unwavering faith, loving nature, and beautiful smile will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her father, Lionso Soria; her mother, Trinidad Lopez; her son, Jesus Manuel Limas; her daughter-in-law, Maria Luisa Limas; her grandson, Roman G. Limas; and her brothers, Salvador Soria and Juan S. Tijerina.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving children, Guadalupe (Aurora) Limas, Lourdes (Sandy) Araujo, and Rubén Limas; eight grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brothers, Lionso Soria and Isaac Soria; her sisters, Senaida (Ismael) Soria Sánchez, Celia Casias, Sara S. Cadenas, Consuelo S. Neely, and Mary S. (Raymond) Rodríguez; along with numerous nieces and nephews. She will also be dearly missed by her beloved cat, Kitta.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Rosa Garza for providing loving care for over 20 years. They would also like to extend their sincere appreciation to Dr. Kotta and staff, TVNS, Mark Anthony Becerra, and Paula Rios Cantu for their kindness, dedication, and support.
