Yolanda Salazar

battle with breast cancer.

Yolanda is survived by her devoted husband Juan Salazar; her children Juan and Erica Salazar,

and Leticia Martinez; grandchildren Bianca, Eliana, Papas Salazar, future granddaughter

Rosalia Martinez, and Jewelisa, Kloie and Bella Rodriguez.

Yolanda was born on July 8th, 1963 to hardworking parents Manuel and Maria DeLeon of

Kennedy, Texas. She is a graduate of Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown where she met

her longtime love Juan, sharing a lifetime of laughter and adoration with her husband and

children. Yolanda prided herself with extravagant holiday decorating to stir bewilderment and

delight in her children, instilled Christian values within her family with every church attendance,

and enjoyed God’s nature through family park outings and sunny days at Galveston Beach.

Yolanda was a devoted Christian, mother and grandmother. Her intellect and hard work ethic

allowed her to climb the corporate ladder at Kmart where she worked as a Human Resource

Manager. After 24 years with Kmart, she began working as an insurance agent with Allstate and

later, TWFG Quick Insurance, dedicating her life to the service of others during their time of

need. When Yolanda was not working or tending to her beautiful grandchildren, she immersed

herself in the works of the Lord. A parishioner of The Church of New Beginnings in Baytown,

Yolanda shared her uplifting, personal testimony, participated in the church’s food drives,

drive-thru prayer ministry, and volunteered as the song director for the church’s services.

Arrangements are under the direction of Earthman Baytown Funeral Home.
