She eventually became the shop owner and served the Brownsville community providing distinctive and unique floral arrangements loved by all. She enjoyed fishing in the bay with Donnie and her family and took great pride in her home gardens. Garner State Park on the Frio River was a favorite vacation spot with fond memories of floating down the river with family and friends. The family extends their thanks to Yvette Cano of Cano Homes and all the caring staff who became her close friends. We would also like to thank the staff at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen who cared for her during her stay.  A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2026 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Delta Funeral Directors.  Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Delta Funeral Directors, family owned and operated, 956-542-2222.
