Our beloved Amá, Lilia "Lillie" Cisneros Tejeda, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother, was born on November 12, 1922, and passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 13, 2022. She had just turned 100 years old the day before her death on Saturday, November 12, and we had a beautiful celebration with her and with family and close friends.
Amá was puro amor and all about her children and familia. She married Francisco Mariano Tejeda in 1941 and they had five children together: Frank Jr., Mary Alice, Juan, Ernest and Richard.
She was a loving mother and long-time beautician/cosmetologist and small business owner of Lillie's Beauty Shop on the southside of San Antonio. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and always lived by the dicho and example her mother, Josefina López Cisneros, taught her: Haz el bien, y no mires a quien.
Lillie was preceded in death by her parents, Prajedes and Josefina Cisneros, her husband Francisco Mariano Tejeda, her son Frank Mariano Tejeda Jr., her sisters, Amelia, Stella and Alicia, her brother Gilbert, and her grandson Ernest Jr. She is survived by her sister Emma Terrazas, her daughter Mary Alice, her sons Juan, Ernest and Richard, her grandchildren Paul, Yvette, Marissa, Sonya, Frank III, Lalli, Juan, Maya Quetzalli, Valerie, Marcos, and Richard Jr., her great grandchildren Paul Jr., Hailey, Hannah, Tyler, Taylor, Isabella, Madison, Mason, Robert Frank, Andres Mariano, Frank IV, Denver Mariano, Lily Rain, Amber, Ella Dior and Ava Kristiana, and great-great grandchildren Paul III, Mason Manuel and Camilla.
