Mary Modesta Lopez

05/12/1939 - 02/10/2026

Mary M. Lopez, 86, resident of San Antonio, Texas, passed away on February 10th, 2026. She was born in Weslco, Texas to Pablo and Susanna Lopez.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Pablo and Susanna Lopez and her seven siblings. She was the last of her generation.

She is survived by her son, Michael, and daughter-in-law, Victoria, two grandchildren, Paul Lopez and Isabella Lopez, and numerous nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews.

Mary took her last breath surrounded by the love of her family in the early morning of February 10th at Northeast Baptist hospital. She was a loving Mother, Ooma, Sister, Tia and friend.

She worked extensively with the oil industry in many different aspects but loved being an interpreter for multiple companies. There was never a person she didn't befriend. Her fondest moments always involved her family and friends.

Special thanks to the nursing staff at Northeast Baptist hospital, friends and family: Diana Guerra and family, Maria Floyd, Amira Mejia, and especially our cousin, Mayra Sotello for making her lasts months comfortable. Words cannot express our gratitude.
