Graciela Cavazos

Graciela B. Cavazos, 90, entered into eternal rest in Harlingen, TX on Thursday, February 15, 2024. She was born in Mexico to Rosendo Barrera and Natalia Acuña Barrera.

A Christian woman who devoted her whole life, not only to her family but to all those whom Our Good Lord placed in her life. A Mom/Wela who always strived to have her family united and would pray unceasingly for not only her family but the entire community. A Christian woman who since childhood was touched by The Holy Spirit to do acts of kindness. A Christian woman who served The Lord and the entire community with a love so intense and never expecting anything in return. A Christian woman who served with humility as Our Good Lord asks of us. A Christian woman who always prayed rosaries when the church community asked her to pray for their loved ones who were called home to meet Our Creator. A Christian woman who will be missed not only by her family but the entire church community where she was a pillar who never said “No” when it came to serving Our Good Lord, her family, and all those who knew her.
