ARCHAMBEAULT
Victoria Hernandez Archambeault, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 after a courageous seven year battle with breast cancer. She was surrounded by her beloved husband and loving daughter. Victoria was the daughter of Juanita and Adan Hernandez and was the last surviving member of the seven member family, which included Adam, Arthur, Dimas and Eva. She was a graduate of Breckenridge High School and was an administrative assistant for over twenty years with civil service, including having worked in a division of nuclear weapons. Victoria's favorite activities included charity work for the elderly and philanthropy to organizations such as the March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society. She was a faithful servant of Christ and member of both St. Paul's Catholic Church and St. Jude's Catholic Church. She was a compassionate, loving and generous woman to all and had a slight rebellious streak to those who knew her well. Victoria is survived by her husband, George Archambeault, daughter, Noël Archambeault, son in law, Daniel Blake Smith, grandson, Dalton Beck Smith and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Closed casket visitation will be open to the public beginning at 2pm on Sunday, December 26th at Castillo Funeral Home with a rosary said en masse that same evening at 7pm.

The family wishes to thank Interim Hospice Care for being compassionate caregivers, especially Adrienne and Joyce.
