Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Irene Peñaloza, 85, of Dickinson, TX, passed away on Friday, August 7, 2020 peacefully and surrounded by her loving family. Irene is preceded in death by her husband, Baldomero Peñaloza. She is survived by her nine children, Baldomero Peñaloza (Marta), Cesar Peñaloza (Dina), Gerardo Peñaloza (Leticia), Armando Peñaloza (Irma), Patricia Hernandez (Rigoberto), Diana Cervantes (Raul Sr.), Rosalinda Navarro (Kenneth Sr.), Israel Peñaloza, and Juan Peñaloza (Nicole), as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Irene was a devoted mother and was known by all her loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren as “Buela.” Irene leaves behind a beautiful legacy comprised of 30 grandchildren and 41 (going on 42) great-grandchildren.
Irene was a great woman with a stern look but with an amazing heart of gold. While Irene enjoyed cooking and embroidering, another one of her biggest passions was gardening. Her biggest joy in life was participating in all the special events for her grand and great-grandchildren. As a family, we all feel truly blessed and honored to have part of her legacy remain with us.
The family will receive friends for visitation Tuesday, August 11, 2020 from 6:00–8:00pm at Forest Park East Funeral Home and Cemetery, 21620 Gulf Fwy, Webster, TX 77598. A celebration of Irene’s life will be held on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at 10:00 am at the funeral home immediately following she will be laid to rest at Forest Park East Cemetery.
