Corina Saenz passed peacefully into the fullness of God's presence on June 14, 2025 in Bryan, Texas with her loving family at her bedside, having celebrated her 96th birthday just four days earlier.
Corina was born on June 10, 1929 in Baytown, Texas to Lucio and Maria Saenz. She graduated from Pharr-San Juan- Alamo Highschool in 1947 and from Harlingen Business College in 1948. She worked for Evans Realty in Pharr for multiple years as well as an administrative assistant in several banks in McAllen.

After her husband's death, she and her sister began traveling in the United States as well as to Spain, Italy, and France.
