Elida A. Ortiz, age 90, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, November 22, 2025 in Del Rio, Texas. She was born on March 13, 1935, and raised in Del Rio, Texas. Elida was a strong and loving woman whose life was defined by devotion-to her family, her faith, and her community. A dedicated mother and a graceful homemaker, she poured her heart into creating a warm, welcoming home, where love, tradition, and faith were at the center of everyday life.
She found joy in serving others and giving back to the community she cherished. A hardworking entrepreneur, she built a successful career in the agricultural business, demonstrating perseverance, integrity, and an unwavering work ethic, which she passed on to her beloved family.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rogelio Ortiz Sr., and by her oldest daughter, Guadalupe "Lupe" Skea, both of whom she held dearly in her heart.
Her legacy continues through her surviving children: Patricia Tomaszewski (Greg), Linda Vallejo (Jose), Roy Ortiz Jr., Dora Angulo, and Robert Ortiz (Sharod).
