Evangelina G. Fuentes, 88, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother entered into the glory of her eternal life on Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at Valley Regional Medical Center surrounded by her loving family.

In 1938, she married Arturo Fuentes Garca who preceded her into eternal glory together with a granddaughter, Marisol Fuentes, her son-in-law, Walterio Azuela, two sisters, and four brothers.

Garca, Arturo Maria Elena Fuentes, Sylvia Walterio Azuela, Enrique Fuentes, Georgina Jorge Gomez, and Laura Esthela Fuentes; 12 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, her sister, Olivia G. de Garza Cantu, and numerous other loving family members.
