Damiana Gabriela Cortés García, un ejemplo de amor y generosidad, dejó este mundo el 24 de julio de 2025 en Orange, California. Nacida en la vibrante ciudad de Maltrata, Veracruz el 21 de febrero de 1981, su trayectoria estuvo marcada por la valentía, la resiliencia y un compromiso inquebrantable con su familia y su fe. Falleció en casa, rodeada del cariño de sus seres queridos, tras una valiente batalla contra el cáncer.
La vida de Damiana fue un testimonio de su perseverancia y su capacidad para impactar vidas. Fue una hija querida, una madre querida, una abuela cariñosa, una hermana querida y una compañera fiel. Su padre, Gabriel Cortés Andrade, sus cuatro hijos -Jesús Gustavo Cortés, Olga, Giovanni y Nancy Cortés- y sus diez nietos -Raider, Iriana, Lily, Rosie, Hazel, Adrián, Nael, Aleana, Louie y Aliyah Cortés- son un tributo viviente a su amor infinito. Su hermano Arturo y sus hermanas Erika y María Cortés, junto con su amado compañero, José Mejía, continuarán su legado.
La historia de Damiana es una de triunfo ante la adversidad. A la tierna edad de 17 años, emprendió un viaje audaz, mudándose a Estados Unidos en busca de un futuro mejor. Primero pisó California, donde abrazó nuevos desafíos y oportunidades con los brazos abiertos. Finalmente, fijó su hogar en Las Vegas, Nevada, un lugar que sería testigo de su crecimiento, sus sueños y sus logros.
La ética laboral de Damiana era inigualable. Como ama de llaves, se dedicaba a su oficio, asegurándose de que cada hogar que atendía fuera un reflejo de su excelencia y atención al detalle. Su compromiso con su profesión no era solo un medio para un fin, sino una muestra de su integridad y orgullo por su trabajo.
Sus pasiones eran tan vibrantes como su personalidad. Damiana encontraba alegría en los placeres sencillos de la vida: el ritmo de la música mexicana que la hacía bailar, las delicias culinarias de la cocina mexicana que preparaba con amor y la emoción de explorar nuevos destinos. Pero, por encima de todo, su corazón pertenecía a su familia. Era la personificación de una matriarca, el pegamento que mantenía unida a su familia, y su presencia era una fuente de consuelo y alegría.
El espíritu de servicio de Damiana era inigualable. Siempre estaba dispuesta a ayudar, una auténtica personificación de la generosidad. Su hermano la recordaba con cariño como la más responsable y madura de los hermanos, un pilar de fortaleza y confiabilidad.
Mujer de profunda fe católica, la vida de Damiana fue una oración diaria, un continuo acto de adoración a través de sus obras y su inquebrantable convicción. Su fe fue su brújula, guiándola en las tormentas de la vida y brindando consuelo a quienes la rodeaban.
Amorosa, generosa, llena de fe: estas palabras son solo una pequeña muestra de quién fue Damiana Gabriela Cortés García. Su vida fue una melodía de esperanza y bondad que conmovió a todos los que la conocieron. Al celebrar la vida de Damiana, honremos su memoria encarnando las virtudes que la guiaron: amor sin límites, ayuda incondicional y fe inquebrantable. Su legado nos inspirará por siempre a vivir con el corazón pleno y las manos abiertas, haciendo que cada día cuente como ella. Damiana Gabriela Cortés García, tu luz seguirá brillando en los corazones de quienes te conocieron. Descansa en paz, querida alma, hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar.
"Me gustaría agradecer especialmente a mis primos que me acompañaron en mi último viaje, brindándome tanto apoyo y refugio a mí y a mi familia."

Damiana Gabriela Cortes Garcia, a beacon of love and generosity, left this world on July 24, 2025, in Orange, California. Born in the vibrant city Maltrata, Veracruz on February 21, 1981, Damiana's journey was one marked by courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to her family and faith. She passed away at home, surrounded by the warmth of her loved ones, following a valiant battle with cancer.
Damiana's life was a testament to her enduring spirit and her capacity to touch lives. She was a cherished daughter, a beloved mother, a doting grandmother, a dear sister, and a devoted partner. Her father, Gabriel Cortes Andrade, her four children - Jesus Gustavo Cortes, Olga, Giovanni and Nancy Cortes - and her ten grandchildren, Raider, Iriana, Lily, Rosie, Hazel, Adrian, Nael, Aleana, Louie and Aliyah Cortes are a living tribute to her boundless love. Her brother Arturo and sisters Erika and Maria Cortes, along with her loving partner, Jose Mejia, will carry her legacy forward.
The story of Damiana is one of triumph over adversity. At the tender age of 17, she embarked on a bold journey, moving to the United States to pursue a brighter future. She first set foot in California, where she embraced new challenges and opportunities with open arms. Eventually, she made her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, a place that would witness her growth, her dreams, and her accomplishments.
Damiana's work ethic was unparalleled. As a housekeeper, she dedicated herself to her craft, ensuring each home she cared for was a reflection of her excellence and attention to detail. Her commitment to her profession was not just a means to an end but a display of her integrity and pride in her work.
Her passions were as vibrant as her personality. Damiana found joy in the simple pleasures of life - the rhythm of Mexican music that would set her feet dancing, the culinary delights of Mexican cuisine that she prepared with love, and the thrill of exploring new destinations. Yet, above all, her heart belonged to her family. She was the epitome of a matriarch, the glue that held her family together, and her presence was a source of comfort and joy.
Damiana's spirit of service was unmatched. She was always ready to extend a helping hand, a true embodiment of generosity. Her brother fondly remembered her as the most responsible and mature among the siblings, a pillar of strength and dependability.
A woman of profound Catholic faith, Damiana's life was a daily prayer, a continuous act of worship through her deeds and her unwavering belief. Her faith was her compass, guiding her through life's storms and bringing solace to those around her.
Loving, generous, faith-filled - these words only begin to scratch the surface of who Damiana Gabriela Cortes Garcia was. Her life was a melody of hope and kindness that resonated with everyone she encountered. As we celebrate Damiana's life, let us honor her memory by embodying the virtues she lived by: love without limits, help without hesitation, and faith without falter.
