Estella Valdez Perez De La Rosa was called to Heaven on December 2, 2020 at the age of 97. She was devoted to her family, her church, and her community.
She was born August 3, 1923 in Villa Hidalgo, Coahuila, Mexico. A teacher since 1941, she taught several generations to live faithfully, joyously, and vibrantly. She married Oscar Perez Gutierrez on October 5, 1949 and together they had eight children: Maria Elena Ramirez (Jesse), Irma Perez, Oscar Valdez Perez, Nelly Guadalupe Perez, Lydia Estella Benavidez (Arnaldo), San Juana Cervantes (Charley), Jose Luis Perez (Angie), and Arturo Perez (Alice).
She is preceded in death by her husband, daughter Irma, and grandson Aaron Anthony Benavidez. Her memory lives on in her children, 34 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.
Estella served in her faith as a Guadalupana for many decades, spreading the Virgen de Guadalupe's messages of love, hope and comfort. A friend to all, Estella aimed to provide everyone she met with a warm presence, shared meal, spirit-filled song, tight hug, and contagious laugh.
A private funeral service will be held in Devine, Texas.

Sympathy cards may be dropped off at the St. Joseph's Catholic Church Office (108 S Washington Dr, Devine, TX 78016) or mailed to Mary Ramirez (406 CR 770, Natalia, Texas 78059). May God bless you.

Our sincere condolences to Estelitas family. We got to know her when she was a very caring neighbor to our brother Ernesto. She was always so nice and greeted us with the love in her heart that she shared with our brother and all she came in contact with in her great life. God bless you and all.

My most sincere condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Estella, thru my Great-aunts Porfiria, Dominga, and Marta Rodriguez. She was a very dear friend of theirs. I would always see her at their home when they had a special celebration for San Martin de Porres, or at a birthday celebration. She was a very sweet lady, and very devoted Catholic. May The Good Lord welcome her into The Gates of Heaven, and may she rest in peace. Prayers for the family.
