Elizabeth Medina

Elizabeth Medina, 53, of Brownsville, Texas, loving daughter, sister, and aunt, passed away on November 26, 2016 at Valley Baptist Medical Center. Elizabeth was born in June of 1963 in Brownsville, Texas, to Jose Medina II and Maria De Lourdes De Leon. She attended Webb Elementary and graduated from kindergarten and High School Life Skills Unit. She belonged to Immaculate Conception Cathedral Church and Holy Family Church. Elizabeth loved family, prayer, social events, family outings, music, shopping, gambling and novelas.

Elizabeth is preceded in death by her father, Jose Medina; her maternal grandparents: Rosa S. and Gaspar De Leon Sr.; her paternal grandparents: Jose and Hortencia Medina; and numerous aunts and uncles.

Elizabeth was uniquely special; she taught everyone who knew her important life lessons more than anyone could ever teach you; humility, loyalty, love, kindness, and gentleness. Being around her made you want to be a better person and helped put in perspective what really matters in life. No matter how hard life was for her she remained positive and pure, as she worked hard to overcome her daily life struggles. She was loved by many, especially her mother and loving devoted aunts: Elena De Leon, Rosa De Leon, and Eva Alcala.
