Soccoro Perez Obituary
Born on June 26, 1957, in Los Herreras, Durango, Mexico, to parents Octaviano and Manuela Melero, Socorro later attended Santa Barbara High School and went on to raise her five beloved daughters, of whom she was so proud.
She worked for many years at San Andres Pharmacy and later retired from Santa Barbara County as a pharmacy technician. Known for her kindness, generosity, and lively spirit, Socorro touched the lives of all who knew her.
Socorro loved to dance, loved to shop, and always had an outfit ready for any occasion. She never missed a chance to celebrate life with her family and friends. Her laughter, strength, and unconditional love will be forever remembered.
She is survived by her daughters: Monica Esparza, Elsa Pérez, Socorro "Coquis" Pérez, Cintia Pérez, and Silvia Pérez; as well as 11 grandchildren who were the joy of her life.
A rosary will be held on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Church. A funeral mass will follow on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows, and she will be laid to rest at Calvary Cemetery. The family kindly requests that those attending wear purple and gold in her honor.
Socorro's love and spirit will live on in all who knew her. "Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day."
