A resident of Apple Springs, Texas, Lilli May will be remembered with deep love for the steady strength she carried, the tenderness she offered so freely, and the faithful heart that guided her through life’s joys and trials.
In the quiet, everyday ways that matter most, Lilli May showed what it means to be devoted and selfless—meeting others with compassion, generosity, and a kind-hearted spirit that made people feel seen and cared for. Her resilience and bravery were not loud; they were lived, day after day, with grace. She was also wonderfully creative, finding comfort and joy in arts and crafts, crochet, and sewing—gifts of patience and care that reflected the warmth she brought into the lives around her.
Lilli May is survived by her sons, John Anthony Maciel; Gilberto Maciel, Jr. and wife Alicia; and Juan Angel Rangel; and by her eight grandchildren, Kaylie, Annalee, Julie, Zaylee, Elih, Malachi, Noah, and Aiden. She is also survived by her sister, Rosa Trevino; sisters Mary Rodriguez and husband Albert, and Sofia Bueno and husband Felipe; and brothers Romeo Rangel and wife Leticia, and Ricardo Rangel. Also left to cherish her memory are many nieces, nephews, friends and relatives.
Lilli May is preceded in death by her parents, Alberto and San Juana; her siblings,Alberto Rangel, Jr. Julia R Hernandez, Martin Rangel, Sr., Francisca Rangel, Juan Rangel, Domingo Rangel, Patricia Rivera; brother-in-law Juan Trevino and sister-in-law Maria Cecilia Rangel.
