Guadalupe "Lupe" Bautista Obituary
Guadalupe “Lupe” Longoria Bautista, of Amarillo, passed away October 7th, 2025 surrounded by loved ones at the age of 71.
Lupe was the youngest daughter of Francisco and Natalia Longoria.
Lupe was the heart of the Bautista family. Family meant everything to her, and she would often remind us that as long as we had each other, we had it all. She cherished every moment with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a fulfilling career as a women’s and children’s nurse. In retirement, she continued her love of crafting and being creative with her sewing and quilting projects. She enjoyed all holidays, with Halloween being her favorite. Festively decorating the house brought her immense joy. Lupe had a gentle kindness, unwavering integrity and a strong love for the Catholic faith within her. Her beautiful eyes, kind smile, compassionate heart and words of wisdom were gifts to everyone who met her.
Lupe is preceded in death by her parents, Francisco and Natalia Longoria, her sister Dolores Rivas, her brother Frank Longoria, and her sister Eva Chapa.
Lupe is survived by her childhood sweetheart and husband of over 50 years William Bautista; her son Steve Bautista and wife Josi Fogo of Amarillo, son Paul Bautista and wife Ashley of Lubbock, daughter Kristen Sanchez and husband Ernest of Amarillo and son Matthew Bautista of Amarillo; two sisters Sylvia Angel of Amarillo and Mary Chavez of Atlanta; her grandchildren Beta, Dray, Jacob, Hannah, Victor, Rex, Kayden, Olivia, Aleya, and Marcus, as well as two great grandchildren, Leam and Ezzy, who all affectionally called her Granny.
