Maria del Fierro Obituary

Maria de Lourdes Guerra del Fierro, 67, of Brownsville, our beloved mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend entered into the glory of her eternal life on Friday, Oct. 28, 2011, at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Mrs. del Fierro was born on Dec. 27, 1943, in Matamoros, Tamps., Mexico, to Alfonso Guerra and Amparo del Fierro de Guerra who preceded her in death.

She had been a resident of Brownsville for numerous years.

Mrs. del Fierro was devoted to her family. Her family always came first and she was always there for everyone. She enjoyed going fishing, spending time outdoors enjoying nature and our wildlife, but most especially she enjoyed her family. Lourdes was greatly loved and will be profoundly missed by all those fortunate to have known her.

In addition to her parents, Lourdes was preceded in death by a brother, Procopio Guerra del Fierro.

Left behind to eternally treasure their memories of her are her daughter, Erika (Andrew) Jaross; her son, Hector (Lidia) Gomez; the grandchildren that were the apple of her eye: Ari, Elyssa, and Zeb Jaross, and Gael Gomez; her sisters: Amparo (Baltazar) Guerra de Guzman, Zoila (Alfonso) Guerra de Cisneros, Argentina (Fanino+) Guerra de de Leon, Maria Luisa Guerra del Fierro, and Adelaida Guerra del Fierro; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Visitation will begin at 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 31, 2011, and continue through 9 p.m. with the recitation of the holy rosary at 7 p.m. Monday evening at Darling-Mouser Funeral Home. A Liturgical Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 1914 Barnard Rd. All services will conclude after the Mass and in accordance with Mrs. del Fierro's wishes cremation will follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that memorial gifts in Lourdes' name be made to the: Coselli Aortic Research Fund, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza, BCM 390, Houston, TX 77030.
