Maria Olmos "Lola" Mendez

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness we announce the passing of Maria "Lola" Olmos Mendez, a beloved mother, grandmother and friend. She graduated to heaven on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at the age of 86.
A vigil will be held at O'Connor Chapel, 25301 Alicia Pkway, Laguna Hills from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
She loved flowers and they will be accepted at her vigil.
Lola was born on September 14, 1937 in the small town of El Tarengo in Jalisco, Mexico. She was a compassionate but tough. She was loving but straight to the point. For those you knew her Lola was Lola !
Her heart was kind, loving and huge. At a young age she lost her mother and had a tough time overcoming the loss. Later she married Luis Mendez and they had their only daughter, Teresa Razo. Unfortunately, her husband passed in 1985 when Teresa was only 10 years. She never remarried and dedicated her life overcoming many life struggles and never gave up to make sure Teresa had everything she needed. Throughout her life there were many ups and downs but always moving forward!
She enjoyed flowers, music, cards, bingo and watching television. She also enjoyed gardening and planting roses. Her greatest joy was having family and friends around. Her biggest blessing in life was spending time and seeing her grandkids grow. Her grandkids are Luis, Emiliano, Juan Eduardo, Elizabeth, Chuyin, Jorge Luis and Ariana !
She leaves behind many memories and lessons. Her memory will be forever treasured by her family and friends. Our hearts ache as all her family and friends navigate this profound loss, finding solace in the countless memories we all shared and the unconditional love we all received.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all those who have offered their condolences and support during this difficult time.

Le encantaban las flores y seran recibidas en su rosario.
Lola nacio el 14 de Septiembre, 1937 en El Tarengo, Jalisco, Mexico. Su corazon era bondadoso, amoroso and muy grande. Siendo muy joven ella perdio a su madre y fue un proceso muy doloroso. Despues se caso con Luis Mendez y tuvieron una hija, Teresa Razo. Desafortunadamente, su esposo fallecio en el 1985 cuando Teresa solo tenia 10 años de edad. Ella nunca se caso de nuevo y dedico su vida seguir adelante y darle lo mejor a su hija Teresa. Durante su vida hubo momentos muy bajos y muy altos, pero nunca se dio por vencida!
Le gustaban las flores, la musica, jugar cartas, loteria y ver television. Tambien le encantaba pasar tiempo en su jardin y plantar rosas. Su mayor felicidad era compartir tiempo con su familia y amigos. Y su mayor bendicion fue pasar tiempo con sus nietos y verlos crecer. Sus nietos son Luis, Emiliano, Juan Eduardo, Elizabeth, Chuyin, Jorge Luis & Ariana
Nos deja muchos recuerdos y enseñansas. Sus recuerdos siempre estaran presentes con su familia y amigos. Nuestros corazones estan con un gran dolor y navegaremos esta gran perdida encontrando consuelo en todos los bellos momentos que nos dejo y el amor incondicional que recibimos de ella.
Agradecemos de corazon y con mucha gratitude todos los mensajes, llamadas, condolencias y apoyo durante estos tiempos difíciles.
