Manuela O. Soriano, aged 83, passed away peacefully with loved ones by her side on December 9, 2025, in Anthony, NM. She was known for her fierce, unconditional love and playful sense of humor. Manuela enjoyed the simple pleasures of life and loved her family and pets. She loved to be at home with her plants and pets and yet enjoyed traveling with the family.

Manuela was a loving, dedicated mother, mother-in-law, grandma, and great grandma. She was a very hard worker, always ensuring that whoever was in her home was taken care of.

Born of the love and strength of her parents, Jesús and Ángela Olivas, Manuela lived life as one walks across beloved land: with firm steps, with honest work, and with a heart that always held a place for everyone. Today, she is reunited with them, with her beloved husband Roberto Soriano, and with her departed sons, Gonzalo and Martín Soriano, whose names continue to resonate in the memories of those who loved them.

Manuela is survived by the brightest fruits of her life:

Leticia Loya, Blanca L. Alaniz, Dora M. Soriano (Don Arms), Gloria M. Contreras (Luis), Nellie M. Soriano, Roberto Soriano (Vivian), and Genaro Soriano (Claudia).

She is also remembered with love and gratitude by her siblings, Jesús Olivas, Hortencia Olivas, and Eliseo Castro, as well as the large family she helped to raise: 18 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, who carry in their blood the legacy of her character, her tenderness, and her wisdom.

Services in her honor will be held at Sunset Funeral Homes – West, 480 N. Resler, El Paso, TX 79912, on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with the Rosary beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Manuela O. Soriano, de 83 años, falleció pacíficamente rodeada de sus seres queridos el 9 de diciembre de 2025 en Anthony, Nuevo México. Era conocida por su amor incondicional y su alegre sentido del humor. Manuela disfrutaba de los placeres sencillos de la vida y amaba a su familia y a sus mascotas. Le encantaba estar en casa con sus plantas y mascotas, pero también disfrutaba viajar con su familia.

Manuela fue una madre, suegra, abuela y bisabuela cariñosa y dedicada. Era una persona muy trabajadora y siempre se aseguraba de que todos los que estuvieran en su casa se sintieran bien atendidos.

Nacida del amor y la fortaleza de sus padres, Jesús y Ángela Olivas, Manuela vivió la vida como se camina una tierra querida: con pasos firmes, con trabajo honrado y con un corazón que siempre guardó espacio para todos. Hoy se reúne nuevamente con ellos, con su amado esposo Roberto Soriano, y con sus hijos ausentes, Gonzalo y Martín Soriano, cuyos nombres siguen resonando en la memoria de quienes los quisieron.

Leticia Loya, Blanca L. Alaniz, Dora M. Soriano (Don Arms), Gloria M. Contreras (Luis), Nellie M. Soriano, Roberto Soriano (Vivian) y Genaro Soriano (Claudia).

También la acompañan en recuerdo y gratitud sus hermanos Jesús Olivas, Hortencia Olivas y Eliseo Castro, además de la larga estirpe que ayudó a formar: 18 nietos y 10 bisnietos, quienes llevan en su sangre la herencia de su carácter, su ternura y su sabiduría.
