Edward Carranza Obituary

Edward R. Carranza

El Paso - Edward R. Carranza, 96 passed away peacefully on Friday, March 6, 2020. We find solace in knowing that he is with his late mother, Florence R. Carranza; his late "Aunt Faye", Felicitas Rosas; and his late son, Charlie Carranza. Eddie moved to El Paso where he graduated at the Texas College of Mines (now UTEP). He was a WWII Army veteran (1943-1946) serving as a radar operator, sharp shooter and a bandsman playing the tenor saxophone and clarinet. After serving our country, he came back to El Paso and worked at the State National Bank and was also an El Paso Chamber of Commerce representative. What Eddie enjoyed most of all was his band - The Eddie Carranza Orchestra - where he led his band and played the tenor sax. His life included a healthy dose of fun filled activities which we will truly enjoy in our memories. He is survived by his son, Edward Carranza, Jr., Cathy and Sookie Carranza as his daughter-in-law's, two grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. Visitation will be held on Sunday, March 15, 2020, at San Jose Funeral Home-East (10950 Pellicano Dr. from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. U.S. Army Military Honors will be held at 1:00 p.m. A Scripture service will follow at 1:30 p.m.






Edward R. Carranza, de 96 años, falleció pacíficamente el viernes 6 de marzo del 2020. Encontramos consuelo al saber que está con su difunta madre, Florence R. Carranza, su "tía Faye", Felicitas Rosas; y su difunto hijo, Charlie Carranza. Eddie se mudó a El Paso, donde se graduó de Texas College of Mines (ahora UTEP). Era un veterano del ejército de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1943-1946) que se desempeñaba como operador de radar, tirador afilado y miembro de la banda tocando el saxofón tenor y el clarinete. Después de servir a nuestro país, regresó a El Paso y trabajó en el Banco Nacional del Estado y también fue representante de la Cámara de Comercio de El Paso. Lo que más disfrutó Eddie fue su banda, Eddie Carranza Orchestra, donde dirigió a su banda y tocó el saxo tenor. Su vida incluyó una dosis saludable de actividades llenas de diversión que realmente disfrutaremos en nuestros recuerdos. Le sobreviven su hijo, Edward Carranza, Jr., Cathy y Sookie Carranza, así como su nuera, sus dos nietos y siete bisnietos. El velorio se llevará a cabo el domingo 15 de marzo del 2020 en San Jose Funeral Home-East, en el 10950 Pellicano Dr. de 12:00 p.m. a 3:00 p.m. Los honores militares del ejército de Estados Unidos se llevarán a cabo a la 1:00 p.m. El servicio de escritura proseguirá a las 3:00 p.m.
