Sue Salgado Chacon, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family. Born on September 11, 1936, in Dexter, New Mexico, Sue's life journey of 88 years was marked by devotion to her faith, love for her family, and an unwavering spirit of generosity.
Sue was a beacon of light and strength for her family, and her legacy will be cherished by the six generations she leaves behind. Her son Lino Chacon, Jr. and his wife Mary of Henderson, Texas; daughters Elida Cervantes and her husband Rey of San Antonio, Texas, and Olga Chacon of Springfield, Oregon, will forever hold dear the memories of their mother's love and guidance. Sisters, Vicenta Aguirre of Monahans, Texas, and JoAnn Maestas of Albuquerque, Texas. Her memory will be a treasure to her seventeen grandchildren, thirty-six great-grandchildren, twenty great-great-grandchildren, and eleven great-great-great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored immeasurably.
Sue is now reunited with her beloved husband, Lino Chacon, Sr., her parents, Manuel Salgado and Natividad Salcido Salgado, and her daughters Delia Chacon, Elva Lara, and Lusmilia Gallegos. She is also joining her siblings Jose Salgado, Israel Salgado, Manuela Anaya, and Maria Montez, along with her granddaughter Cindy Salinas and great-grandchildren Kamai Alexander Fierro and Zachary Alexander Penick.
Sue's faith was the cornerstone of her life. She was a devoted Christian who found great joy and purpose in serving the Lord. Her unwavering commitment to her faith was evident in the many years she spent attending and participating in the community of Primera Iglesia Bautista of Andrews. She formed lasting bonds with fellow congregants, who will remember her for her kindness and her passion for the Gospel.
Her interests extended beyond her religious devotion. Sue had a talent for cooking, and her kitchen was the heart of many family gatherings, especially during Thanksgiving, her favorite time of the year. She found immense pleasure in preparing meals for her loved ones, and these occasions were filled with laughter, storytelling, and cherished family memories.
Sue's strength was her family, and she was the glue that held them together. She loved nothing more than spending time with her family, nurturing and watching them grow. Her presence was a source of comfort and joy, and her influence will be felt for generations to come.
As we bid farewell to Sue, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of moments that have touched the lives of many. Her spirit of love, her nurturing presence, and her unwavering faith have left her mark. Though she may have departed from this earthly realm, the essence of who she was will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
We take solace in knowing that Sue's journey continues in a place free of pain and full of peace. Her story is not one of an end but a beautiful transition to everlasting life, where she will continue to watch over us with the same love and grace she always embodied.
