SOCORRO BARRERA

September 7, 1929- November 29, 2023

 

Socorro Barrera, 94, joined our Lord in His heavenly kingdom on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

 

Socorro will always be remembered for all the heart she shared with her friends and family. She was generous, loyal, and brave. She found joy in taking annual beach trips, playing cards, loteria, and hosting family gatherings. She was a woman who lived by her faith and attended Blessed Sacrament Church. Her devotion to the Blessed Mother Mary was always present in her life, even in her last days. Socorro leaves behind countless memories with those whom she loved. We would like to thank Socorro De La O for caring and loving her.

 

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Hector H. Barrera; her sisters, Bertha S. Garza, and Paula Fuentes.

 

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Elsa A. (†Cesar) Gutierrez, Jr., Hector H. (Nelda) Barrera, Jr., David D. (Annie) Barrera, and Della Barrera (Gabriel Rubio); 10 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; sister, Belia Sandoval; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
