Agustina Cisneros Sandoval

Agustina Cisneros Sandoval, age 99½, of Villa Unión, Durango, Mexico, peacefully passed away on February 19, 2026, of natural causes, surrounded by the family whose love carried her through every season of her life.

She was born on August 27, 1926, to Herminio Cisneros and Carmen Sandoval. From the very beginning, Agustina was known for her quiet strength, generous heart, and deep devotion to those she loved.

Agustina began raising her family in her hometown of Villa Unión, Durango. Later, she brought her caring spirit to El Paso, Texas, where she worked as household staff for then–Mayor Judson Williams and his wife, Jackie Roe Williams, serving others with the same warmth and dedication she gave her own family. When that chapter of her life came to a close, she moved to San Jose, California, where she spent many years nurturing children, grandchildren, and countless others who were drawn to her kindness, her comforting presence, and her delicious home-cooked meals.

In her final years, Agustina made her home in Tallahassee, Florida, where she was lovingly cared for by her granddaughter, Raquel Cisneros, and her partner Joe—a full-circle moment that reflected the same love and closeness she had so freely given throughout her life.

Agustina found joy in life’s simple and beautiful moments: the aroma of food prepared with love, the quiet rhythm of sewing, and the laughter of grandchildren playing and calling her name. In her later years, she delighted in coloring, completing puzzles, and savoring a sweet cup of coffee while listening to the peaceful songs of morning birds.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Rita Huerta. She is lovingly remembered by her sister, Ana María Cisneros Ramírez; her children, Lorenza Alejandra León, Herminio Cisneros, Rosa Carmen Cisneros, and Seferino “Jorge” Hernández Cisneros; her grandchildren, Raquel (Joe), Claudia (Efren), Cesar (Vero), Hector, Roxanna, Moses, Ney, Ruth, Rocio, Saul, Ana, and Noe; her nieces and nephew, Maria, Liz, and Ernesto; and by an abundance of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren who carry forward her legacy of love.
