Trinidad J. Lopez

Trinidad Jasso Lopez died peacefully at the age of 94 embraced by the love of her family and her savior Jesus Christ. She was born to parents Cipriano and Porfiria Jasso who had migrated to the United States during the Mexican Revolution. They worked the agricultural fields as migrant workers before settling in North San Antonio in an area known to locals as El Barrio Escondido. Her parents were among the original parishioners who worked with Father Peter Baque and the Missionary Servants of St. Anthony when St. Anthony De Padua Catholic Church was established. It was here that she met and married her husband Antonino R. Lopez. Like her parents, Trinidad was a lifelong parishioner and a proud “Guadalupana”.

She was a loyal parishioner to the end. She would drive up to the church just one block from where she lived to attend mass. After mass she would visit the original little church (The Shrine) where she and her brother and sisters attended mass as children. Her own children also worshipped there and it was here that she prayed for the well being of all her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Antonino R. Lopez; daughter, Maria Elena Lopez; son, Antonio N. Lopez and grandson Frank James Rodriguez.

She is survived by 5 children, Mary Louise Martinez (Juan), Joe L. Lopez, Sr. (Frances), Carmen Rodriguez, Guadalupe Martinez (Ernest Martinez) and Santiago Lopez (Jamie Dollinger); sister, Mary Toney; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and other loving relatives and friends.

Visitation will be 6pm, Wednesday, November 2, 2011 with a Rosary to be recited at 7pm at Sunset Funeral Home Chapel. Funeral Mass will be 2pm, Thursday, November 3, 2011 at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, 102 Lorenz, San Antonio, TX 78209.
