Leticia Perales Obituary

Leticia Guadalupe Perales (Letty), 54 Years old, was born on Feb 12, 1965 and passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 6, 2019 surrounded with her family by her side. She was born and raised in Midland, Texas and attended Midland High School. A beautiful young woman who was never mean, fun to be around while making you smile no matter what. She's an amazing woman you can always have fun with. She is unique and no one compares to her very talented dancing skills. She is very lovable, you could get lost in her beautiful brown eyes as they lead you to a beautiful world that is indescribable. A woman who is worth fighting for. A woman that doesn't ask for much but is happy with what she has. A woman that should never be let down, she had her laugh attacks that make you just laugh along with her. She made you feel like the happiest person alive. Letty was preceded in death by her parents Felipe and Petra Perales, Sister Janie Borrego, Brothers Michael Henry Perales, and Albert Perales. She is survived by the Love of her life Joe Cortez III; her children, Christopher and wife Pitreece Navarro, Diego Navarro III, Stephanie Hernandez, Heather and husband Sergio Orona, Monica and husband Jonathan Lopez, Savina Cortez, Christopher Cortez, and Michelle and Husband Julio Lujan; and 17 Grandchildren.

A viewing will be held at Heavenly Gate Funeral Home & Chapel on Friday, March 8th from 12:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. with a rosary starting at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening. A funeral service is set for Saturday, March 9th at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish & Shrine. Burial will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park.
