Agnes Barbolla

1927 - 2014

Agnes "Nachita" Barbolla, 86, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was retired from the Fort Worth ISD. Funeral: 10 a.m. Friday at All Saints Catholic Church. Interment: Mount Olivet Cemetery. Rosary: 6 p.m. Thursday in Mount Olivet Chapel. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, it was her desire that donations be made in memory of her to the Humane Society on East Lancaster, where she adopted her last few puppies. When they came to her home, they became family. Agnes was born Oct. 3, 1927, in Fort Worth to Florencio and Luz Maldonado. "Nachita" was a most loving and respected wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, mother-in-law and friend. She respected her family's privacy, but was always there when needed. To know her was to love her. Although she was a small lady, she was strong. She had an air of sophistication and regal about her, which wasn't an act, it was just her. Family and friends could talk to her and trust that it would be held in confidence and you never heard her say anything negative about anyone. Agnes was held very highly by her family and friends and will be dearly missed. The family will take comfort in knowing that God has another special angel that will be there with open arms to bring us all home when it is our time. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Richard Anthony Barbolla; her parents; and brother, Louis Barron. Survivors: Husband, Joe Barbolla; children, Mary Lou Ruiz and husband, Bob, George Barbolla and wife, Darlene; grandsons, Richard Barbolla and wife, Esther, Eric Ruiz and wife, Danielle; great-grandchildren, Tristan, Richard and Viviana Barbolla, Erica Ruiz; and great-great-granddaughter, Audrie Barbolla.
