Herlinda Zarate

Herlinda Zarate, 65, of Brownsville, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt entered into the glory of her eternal life on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at Valley Regional Medical Center in Brownsville surrounded by her loving family.

Herlinda was a lifetime resident of the San Pedro Community. She was a happy go lucky person who enjoyed her life to the fullest. She made it a point to call her loved ones every morning to say hello and wish them a good day.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Natividad and Francisca B. Zarate and sisters, Hermelinda Zarate and Beatrice Trevino Rodriguez.

Left behind to eternally treasure her memory is her husband of 23 years, Joe Ramirez; three daughters, Ana Noemi Zarate, Ann Frances Zarate, and Sheila Veronica Oscar Bautista Zarate; 7 grandchildren, her sister, Eva Ramon Morales, her brother, Joseph Guadalupe Minga Trevio; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Visitation will begin Friday, August 21, 2009 at 11 a.m. and continue through 9 p.m. with the recitation of the holy rosary at 7 p.m. in the evening in the East Chapel of Darling-Mouser Funeral Home. The Mass of Christian Resurrection will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 22, 2009 at San Pedro Mission in San Pedro. Interment will follow at El Carmen Cemetery.

Herlindas family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the Staff at VRMC ICU and everyone at North Brownsville Dialysis for the wonderful and compassionate care that they gave their loved one.

Pallbearers will be family members and friends.

Lonely is the home without you, life to us is not the same; all the world would be like heaven, if we could have you back again. A light is from our household gone, a voice we loved is still, a place is vacant in our home, that never can be filled. May the God of Love and Mercy, care our loved one who is gone, and bless with consolation, those left to carry on. The happy hours we once enjoyed, how sweet their memory still, but death has left a vacant place, this world can never fill. How dearly we loved you, and prayed you might live, but Jesus just beckoned, and we had to give. God gave us strength to bear it, and courage to fight the blow, what it had meant to lose you, God alone will ever know.
