Olivia Vasquez Obituary

Olivia Vasquez of San Benito, Texas, was born on April 16, 1947. She courageously embarked on a new journey to Paragould in 2012 to be closer to her loving family. She peacefully ascended to eternal rest on Sept. 29, 2025, in the comfort of her home.

She was a devoted member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church. She dedicated over 45 years to serving as a bus driver, retiring from a profession that brought her immense joy.

She is reunited with her mother and father, Juanita R. Sanchez and Geronimo N. Sanchez, both of Mexico, who preceded her in death.

Her legacy lives on through her daughters, Evalina Garza, Elma Liza Gonzalez, Ernestina (Tina) Fuentes and Elisabet Hernandez, as well as 19 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish her memory.

Services will be Friday, Oct. 3, at 11 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Paragould.

You will be missed dearly. Works can´t explain how much you mean to so many and how we all are so blessed to have had you in our lives. Thank you for all you have done for me; you have taught me so much and I´ve learned many things through. You only wish we had more time. I will always love you and always think of you. I love you Nana and we´ll see each other soon.
