Ann Mary DeLuna

Ann Mary DeLuna, 101, a resident of Arlington, Texas, passed away on July 2, 2026. Born March 27, 1925, Ann Mary lived a long life marked by steadfast devotion to family, quiet strength, and the kind of steady competence that made others feel supported and at ease.

Ann Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years and love of her life, Arthur; her parents, Cristobal and Dolores Sanchez; and her eight siblings—Horacio, Catalina, Armando, Barbarita, Miguel, Olivia, Rodolfo, and Baldomero.

Ann Mary is survived by her children: Ana L DeLuna (Rogelio Llamedo), with their children Laura L Llamedo (Andrew Dailey) and their children Luke Dailey and Thomas Dailey, and Rogelio G Llamedo; Luciano Alberto Garcia de Luna (Alicia Guardado Carrillo), and Luciano’s daughter from a previous marriage, Lisette Antonieta Garcia Rodriguez; Arthur G DeLuna (Angelina C DeLuna), with their child Diana Laura DeLuna (Joseph Gregory de Katona); and Manola Pruitt (Harold), with Manola’s stepchildren Jennifer White (Kirk) and Jared Pruitt (Jacquelyn), and their children Kathryn Rose, Amelia Grace, and Kinley Kay.

Her early dedication to learning led her to Academia Comercial “Pitman” in Nuevo Laredo, where she studied commercial accounting and stenography—skills that would serve her with distinction throughout her working life. Ann Mary went on to work in Chicago as a bookkeeper and accountant for six international buyers in the Women’s Accessory Department at Marshall Fields, and she also handled payroll for the entire department. In every task, she brought care, precision, and a deep sense of responsibility.

Outside of work, Ann Mary found joy in the comforting rhythms of home and community. She knitted and crocheted with patience and artistry, and she delighted in bingo and casino outings that offered both fun and fellowship. She remained engaged and spirited through her Senior Group, La Epoca de Oro, where dancing and companionship kept her connected to others and to the simple happiness of shared moments. Ann Mary also loved traveling to different parts of the world, and she treasured time spent with family and friends—time that became, for those who loved her, a lasting gift.
