Leonor Menchaca Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 7, 2025.
Leonor Helen Menchaca, 74, went to be with Jesus and her parents on August 5, 2025.

She was born in Bakersfield, CA on December 23, 1950 to Seferina and Rudolfo Arredondo. Before she retired she was a sunday school teacher, hairdresser, and real estate agent, then worked her way up through the US Postal Service.

Leonor is survived by her sons, daughter, daughters-in-law, son-in-law, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, nieces, nephews, grandkids, great grandkids, great great grandkids, cousins, and friends.

She was a prayer warrior in life, keeping her kids and all those she loved lifted, and we have no doubt she will continue to watch over us now that she is in Heaven, where we will meet again one day.

On Friday, September 12, starting at 9am, the ashes of Leonor's earthly body will be at Greenlawn Funeral Home Southwest. Services will begin at 11 am.

A graveside service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Parkat 2 pm. Leonor Menchaca December 23, 1950 - August 5, 2025 Bakersfield -
