Manuela Alba, de 91 años, falleció pacíficamente en su casa de Tyler, Texas, el 15 de agosto de 2025, rodeada de su devota familia. Nacida en México el 20 de noviembre de 1933, Manuela vivió una vida llena de amor, fe y fortaleza silenciosa. Era una mujer de profunda humildad y resiliencia, cuyo espíritu conmovía a todos los que conocía. Sus manos elaboraban las mejores tortillas, su corazón alimentaba generaciones y su alma encontraba alegría en los placeres simples: ver novelas, asistir a la iglesia, coser en su juventud y admirar pájaros y delfines. Los claveles eran su flor favorita, un símbolo apropiado de su gracia perdurable. El mayor orgullo de Manuela era su familia. Compartió 73 hermosos años de matrimonio con su amado esposo, Cosme Alba, Sr. Juntos, construyeron un legado de amor y unidad que continúa a través de sus hijos: Juan De Dios Alba, Manuel Guillermo Alba, Javier Alba, René Alba, William Alba, Cosme Alba, Jr., Teodolinda Pérez, Marta Judith Santos, Anabel Alba y Guadalupe Alba. También le sobreviven sus queridos hermanos: Alonzo Reyes, Alberto Reyes, Mario Reyes, Dora Reyes de Cadena y Loreida Piña, así como 37 nietos, 54 bisnietos y 7 tataranietos, todos los cuales llevan adelante su espíritu amoroso. La vida de Manuela fue un testimonio de devoción, fuerza y el poder silencioso de una mujer que amó profundamente y se entregó desinteresadamente. Su memoria vivirá en cada historia contada, cada tortilla compartida y cada acto de bondad inspirado en su ejemplo.
