Dora Del Carmen Salgado, querida madre y espíritu vibrante, partió de este mundo el 26 de enero de 2026 en San Antonio, Texas. Nacida el 5 de noviembre de 1948 en Nicaragua, Dora encarnó una vida llena de amor, alegría y una dedicación inquebrantable a su familia.

A lo largo de su vida, fue conocida por su naturaleza amorosa y ferozmente protectora, siempre defendiendo a sus seres queridos con la pasión de una verdadera animadora. Dora tenía una personalidad enérgica, impregnada de opiniones firmes que expresaba de manera abierta y sincera, y un corazón que irradiaba calidez y compasión. Su generosidad y cuidado por los demás dejaron una huella imborrable en todos los que llegaron a conocerla.

Dora disfrutaba enormemente de sus pasatiempos, con un amor por la jardinería que le permitía cultivar la vida de una manera muy personal. Encontraba alegría en cantar y bailar, llenando a menudo la habitación de risas y música, enriqueciendo la vida de su familia y amigos. Dora también era conocida por su excepcional habilidad culinaria, reuniendo a las personas alrededor de mesas llenas de deliciosas comidas y conversaciones llenas de afecto.

La sobreviven su hija, Doris, y su esposo, David, a quienes Dora adoraba; su maravilloso nieto, Vincent; su nieta, Madison; su amada madre, Juana; sus hermanos Juana, Enrique, Mercedes, Germán y Teresa; será profundamente extrañada por sus dos sobrinas a quienes adoraba como a sus propias hijas, María Adilia y Sojaira Eliza; así como por su familia extendida y muchos amigos cercanos. Inmensa gratitud a la familia Pérez por su amor y apoyo. Dora fue precedida en la muerte por su padre, Juan Carlos Paz.

Se llevará a cabo un servicio conmemorativo para honrar la vida notable de Dora el 20 de febrero de 2026, comenzando a la 1:00 PM en las Capillas Funerarias Puente & Sons, Noreste, ubicadas en 14315 Judson Rd, San Antonio, TX 78233. A las 3:00 PM se rezará un Rosario, seguido de una Misa a las 3:30 PM. Familiares y amigos están invitados a reunirse para celebrar su vida y recordar la alegría que trajo a todos.
