Irma Salinas, born on March 30, 1942, in Doctor Gonzalez, Nuevo Leon, left this world unexpectedly on October 6, 2025. Her life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, resilience, and a commitment to her family that was unwavering.
Irma was a devoted mother, whose heart found its greatest joy in the laughter and achievements of her children. She cherished her role as a matriarch, putting her family before all else. Her nurturing spirit not only shaped her own five children—Angel Salinas Jr. and his wife Stephania, Ana Salinas, Alejandro Salinas, Alberto Salinas, and Angelica Shattuck with her husband Dan—but also created a warm family environment that embraced all who entered it.
A lover of nature, Irma had a green thumb and a profound appreciation for gardening. Her passion for nurturing plants mirrored the care she had for her family. Additionally, she found excitement and thrill in gambling, often sharing those moments of joy with loved ones, building memories that would last lifetimes.
Irma leaves behind a thriving legacy in the form of her seven beloved grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Their smiles and laughter echo the love she imparted through her nurturing ways, ensuring her spirit will live on through them.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Angel Salinas, who stood by her side throughout their journey together. Irma's journey was not only marked by her accomplishments but also enriched through her deep connections. She was preceded in death by her parents and ten siblings, who surely greet her with open arms in the embrace of eternity.
As the sun sets on Irma's earthly chapter, we take comfort in the many memories she shared with us—a testament to a life lived fully, joyously, and with love.
