Nuestra Madre, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Great-Great Grandmother, Sra. Victoria Gomez Salinas (“Ms. Vicky”), age 95, entered into rest on Thursday, October 22, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. She was born on March 10, 1931, in San Antonio, Texas.
She was a faithful member of Primera Iglesia Bautista Fundamental Mexicana (First Mexican Fundamental Baptist Church), 455 Avant Ave., San Antonio, TX, for over 70 years.
From a professional level, "Ms. Vicky" was a recognized dental nurse for over 50 years under the leadership of Dr. James E. Bauerle of San Antonio, TX. Ms. Vicky always valued those she cared for, in and out of the office. Most noteworthy, she was the first in the family to enter the professional medical field, even when society (back in the 60's) did not always welcome individuals of her ethnicity.
Ms. Vicky is survived by her children, Richard (Niki), and Veronica (Katie); Grandchildren, Melody (Ernest, Jr.), Valerie, and Noa; Great Grandchildren, Selena (Daniel), Avery, Meredyth, Maxyne, and Ernest III; Great Great-Grandchildren, Rory and Lily; as well as countless nephews and nieces.
