Nancy Sosa Obituary
March 27, 1952 - October 24, 2025
Nancy passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 24, 2025, after a prolonged illness. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dionicia and George P. Licona, Sr., and her brother, Andy Licona.
A proud graduate of Edgewood High School, St. Philip's Vocational Nursing School, and San Antonio College School of Nursing, Nancy devoted her life to caring for others.
Her career in the medical field spanned decades. Beginning as a ward clerk and progressing to Licensed Vocational Nurse and Registered Nurse. She served in several hospital systems across San Antonio and later found great purpose as a nurse case manager for adults with special needs in Bexar County.
Nancy is survived by her loving husband, John; her children, Henry Ruiz Jr, Connie and Michael; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; her brothers, George Licona, Jr. and Jesse Licona and her sisters, Mary, Gloria, and Rosemary. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
A celebration of Nancy's life will be held at San Fernando Cathedral on Friday, November 7, at 10:00 a.m. Family and friends are invited to join in honoring her memory and the legacy of love and care she leaves behind.

This saddens me tremendously, I have been thinking about her since the day she left work. I learned so much from her, I use to call her seasoned because of her experience, and the knowledge she gave me. she would always fan her hand saying oh stop it,while blushing. We always had positive interactions and shared the same thoughts, she always agreed with suggestions...she will be truly missed by me, we worked so close together I'm happy I have great memories and laughs to dwell on. Saging the office, both believed in a higher power. I'm really going to miss her. That's enough down memory lane, To the family I'm sending my condolences and prayers for your strength at this time, please love and hug on her beautiful granddaughter, and all her other grandchildren she loved them Soo much. Every week I would ask how is grandbaby? whether she seen her or not. GOD bless her husband and her 2 sons,and daughter,I wish the best for y'all and the whole family.again I'm sorry for this tragic loss to your family. My heart mourns with y'all. I kept wondering how you were doing my friend now I know where you are. You told me if you beat me up there you will save me a nice plush spot, I hope you keep your earthly spoken words. Until we meet again my friend. Rest in the meantime. LOVE LIV
