Antonia Baeza Canava passed away peacefully at her home on November 3, 2025, at the age of 72, in Andrews, Texas. Born on February 11, 1953, in Mulato, Mexico, Antonia's life was a testament to her unwavering faith, her deep love for her family, and her commitment to her community.
Antonia's journey began alongside her cherished parents, Filomeno Baeza and Adela Armendariz. Her early years were filled with the vibrant culture and traditions of her hometown, which she carried with her throughout her life. She found her soulmate in Margarito Morin Canava and together, they built a life rich in love and partnership that lasted over fifty years until his passing in 2023.
The couple's love blossomed into a large, loving family. Antonia is survived by her children, Jorge Baeza of Odessa, Joel Canava and wife Sandy of Odessa, Becky Vásquez and husband Rodrigo of Kermit, Criselda Leyva of Mexico, Oscar Baeza of Houston, Elizar Canava and wife Rosa of Andrews, Saul Canava and wife Esmeralda of Andrews, Raul Canava and wife Sandra of Andrews, and Luisa Canava of San Diego, CA. Her legacy continues through the lives of her twenty-nine grandchildren and thirty-five great-grandchildren, who will carry her spirit forward. Antonia was a sister to Jesus Martin Baeza, Soccoro Baeza Trevino, Lupe Baeza, Leonila Rojo, Argelia Ortiz, Carolina Salcido, and Blanca Goff, and she held a special place in the hearts of her many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
A respected member of the Andrews community since 1976, Antonia was a devout Christian and a dedicated member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. Her faith was her guiding light, providing comfort and direction through life's challenges.
Antonia's home was a hub of warmth and generosity. She was a remarkable cook, known for her ability to create delicious meals that brought people together. Her home was a sanctuary for all, a place where family and friends gathered, and where anyone in need found a helping hand. Her ability to raise her family and instill values of respect and morality is a legacy that will live on through the generations.
Her family will forever remember Antonia's unwavering positivity. She was the embodiment of resilience, always facing life with a smile that could light up any room. Her passing reunites her with her beloved husband Margarito, her parents, and her brothers Filomeno and Oscar Baeza. Though she will be deeply missed, the memories of her kind heart, her nurturing spirit, and her infectious joy will remain with us always.
A visitation will be held at McNett Funeral Home on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, from six until eight o'clock in the evening with a rosary beginning at seven o'clock in the evening. A graveside service will be held on Thursday November 6, 2025 at ten o'clock in the morning at Andrews North Cemetery with Father Joseph Ogbonna officiating.
Antonia Baeza Canava falleció en paz en su hogar el 3 de noviembre de 2025, a la edad de 72 años, en Andrews, Texas. Nacida el 11 de febrero de 1953 en Mulato, México, la vida de Antonia fue un testimonio de su fe inquebrantable, su profundo amor por su familia y su compromiso con su comunidad.
La vida de Antonia comenzó junto a sus queridos padres, Filomeno Baeza y Adela Armendáriz. Sus primeros años estuvieron llenos de la vibrante cultura y las tradiciones de su pueblo natal, las cuales la acompañaron durante toda su vida. Encontró a su alma gemela en Margarito Morin Canava y juntos construyeron una vida plena de amor y compañerismo que duró más de cincuenta años, hasta el fallecimiento de él en 2023.
El amor de la pareja floreció y dio origen a una gran y amorosa familia. Antonia deja en duelo a sus hijos: Jorge Baeza de Odessa, Joel Canava y su esposa Sandy de Odessa, Becky Vásquez y su esposo Rodrigo de Kermit, Criselda Leyva de México, Oscar Baeza de Houston, Elizar Canava y su esposa Rosa de Andrews, Saul Canava y su esposa Esmeralda de Andrews, Raul Canava y su esposa Sandra de Andrews, y Luisa Canava de San Diego, California. Su legado perdura a través de sus veintinueve nietos y treinta y cinco bisnietos, quienes llevarán su espíritu consigo. Antonia era hermana de Jesús Martín Baeza, Socorro Baeza Treviño, Lupe Baeza, Leonila Rojo, Argelia Ortiz, Carolina Salcido y Blanca Goff, y ocupaba un lugar especial en el corazón de sus numerosos sobrinos, sobrinas y demás familiares.
Respetada miembro de la comunidad de Andrews desde 1976, Antonia era una cristiana devota y una feligresa comprometida de la Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora de Lourdes. Su fe fue su guía, brindándole consuelo y dirección ante los desafíos de la vida.
El hogar de Antonia era un remanso de calidez y generosidad. Era una cocinera excepcional, conocida por su habilidad para crear deliciosas comidas que unían a las personas. Su casa era un santuario para todos, un lugar donde se reunían familiares y amigos, y donde quien lo necesitara encontraba una mano amiga. Su capacidad para criar a su familia e inculcar valores de respeto y moralidad es un legado que perdurará por generaciones.
Su familia siempre recordará la inquebrantable positividad de Antonia. Era la personificación de la resiliencia, siempre enfrentando la vida con una sonrisa que iluminaba cualquier lugar. Su partida la reúne con su amado esposo Margarito, sus padres y sus hermanos Filomeno y Oscar Baeza. Aunque la extrañaremos profundamente, los recuerdos de su bondad, su espíritu protector y su contagiosa alegría permanecerán siempre con nosotros.
El velatorio tendrá lugar en la Funeraria McNett el miércoles 5 de noviembre de 2025, de seis a ocho de la noche, con un rosario a las siete de la noche. El sepelio se celebrará el jueves 6 de noviembre de 2025 en el Cementerio Andrews North, oficiado por el Padre Joseph Ogbonna.
