Mena Mendivil, una querida matriarca, falleció el 16 de febrero de 2026 a la edad de 95 años en Tucson, Arizona. Nacida el 5 de julio de 1930 en Guamúchil, Sinaloa, México, Mena dedicó su vida al arte de las tareas del hogar. Su mundo giraba en torno a su familia y encontraba una profunda alegría en la crianza de sus hijos, nietos, bisnietos y tataranietos.
La personalidad de Mena era cálida y cariñosa; atenta, carismática y amable. Irradiaba glamour y nunca salía de casa sin un maquillaje impecable y un atuendo cuidadosamente elegido. Cada día era una celebración de la belleza, y su encantadora presencia era fuente de inspiración para todos los que la conocían.
En sus últimos años, Mena encontró alegría en los placeres sencillos de la vida. Le encantaba llevar dados consigo, testimonio de su amor por los juegos de azar, y disfrutaba del apasionado juego de la lotería, creando recuerdos entrañables con su familia y amigos. Su risa y su espíritu alentador serán profundamente extrañados por todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de compartir su vida.
El legado de Mena continúa a través de sus hijos: Alma, Patty, Freddy, César, Leticia y Araceli. Tuvo la fortuna de contar con una familia extensa que incluye 25 nietos, 46 bisnietos y 2 tataranietos. Llevarán su amor por siempre en sus corazones, honrando los valores y tradiciones que les inculcó. Mena ahora descansa en paz junto a su amado esposo, Alfonso Mendivil, y su hijo, Nimi Mendivil, a quienes apreciaba profundamente.
El espíritu vibrante de Mena Mendivil y su inquebrantable amor por su familia permanecerán vivos en los corazones de quienes la aman. Su vida fue un tapiz tejido de amor, risas y un compromiso inquebrantable con quienes la quisieron profundamente. Será recordada no solo por los recuerdos que creó, sino por el legado de amor que ha dejado a su familia para las generaciones venideras.
Familiares y amigos se reunirán para celebrar su vida en la Funeraria Martínez en Tucson, Arizona, con velatorio de 5 p. m. a 9 p. m. el 24 de febrero de 2026, seguido del rosario a las 7 p. m. Se celebrará una misa en la Iglesia Católica Romana Santa Margarita María de Alacoque el 25 de febrero de 2026 a las 10:00 am, seguida del entierro en el Cementerio de la Holy Hope a las 11:30 am.
