Our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, Mary Louise Lee, entered eternal rest on October 5, 2025, at the age of 76. She passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

Mary Lou was born on September 29, 1949, in San Antonio, Texas, to the late Manuel and Rosa Limon. Her legacy of warm hugs and kisses and the way she made a house into a loving home through her decorating talent are truly special memories. Her deep love for driving led her to a fulfilling career behind the wheel, beginning with VIA Metropolitan Transit and later advancing to Greyhound Bus Lines.

She eventually retired to care for the light of her life, her granddaughter Olivia. In the quiet rhythm of their days together, she found a new purpose, one filled with bedtime stories,shared secrets, and the kind of love that only grows deeper with time.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Santiago and Manuela Farias, her parents, Manuel and Rosa Limon, her bothers Manuel Jr, Fernando, Eduardo, Jose, Jesse Limon, her sisters Sylvia Limon and Eloisa Rocha. She is survived by the loves of her life her children,

James Lee and Jaclyn Soto (George), her grandchildren Ashley Zule (James), Olivia Soto, Vanessa Mangum (Ron), George Soto Jr (Magen), her great-grandchildren Jalen, Jada, Jordan, Audrey, Jaxon, and Cora. She is also survived by her siblings: Santiago Limon, Roger Limon, Daniel Limon, Humberto Limon, Cindy Limon, Loudres Arriaga (Max) and numerous nieces and nephews.
