Lillian Puentes Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Lillian Puentes, who entered and left this world on September 22, 2025, at Midland Memorial Hospital in Midland, Texas. Born that same day to her loving parents, Juan Alfonso and Mireya Puentes, Lillian was cradled in warmth, love, and prayers from the moment she arrived. Though her time with us was brief, she touched our lives in the most profound way-a reminder of the preciousness of life and the boundless depth of a parent's love. Lillian is survived by her parents, Juan and Mireya Puentes, and her big brother, Juan Manuel Puentes, who will carry her memory in their hearts forever. A viewing will be held on Tuesday, September 30, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at American Heritage Funeral Home, followed by a funeral service at 12:00 p.m., officiated by Father Frank Chavez. Lillian will be laid to rest at Serenity Memorial Gardens. Though her footprints were small, they left a lasting impression on all who awaited her arrival. She will be remembered with love, always.
