Lucia Sanchez
In Loving Memory
Lucia Sanchez (née Alves), age 83, passed away after a long battle of cancer on July 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.
Born on August 2, 1941, in Granada, Lucia began her life in a place rich with culture and tradition. In her early years, she worked as a cashier before discovering her calling in social care. For fifteen years, she dedicated herself to supporting others through her work as a social care worker—a role that reflected her deep compassion and commitment to service.
At the age of 48, Lucia made the courageous decision to move from Granada to Texas, embracing a new chapter of life with grace and determination. In Fort Wort, she continued her professional journey as a clerk for approximately ten years. Her quiet strength and steadfast work ethic left a lasting impression on those around her throughout each phase of her career.
Lucia was a woman of many talents and passions. She found joy in cooking and experimenting with new recipes, often filling her home with the comforting aromas of traditional dishes and creative culinary delights. A skilled knitter and avid gardener, she also worked as a florist and took great pride in planting and nurturing flowers—bringing beauty into the lives of others through both her hands and heart.
Her faith was the cornerstone of her life. A devoted Catholic, Lucia worshipped at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Houston, where she found spiritual fulfillment and community. Her devotion provided strength through every season of life.
Lucia is survived by her two daughters, Jovena and Tatiana, And grandchild Geno, who carry forward the legacy of their mother’s resilience, warmth, and love.
A funeral will be held on September 29th, 2025, from 11:30 AM to 12:15 PM at Cemetery Beautiful located at 8401 Wheatley St, Houston, TX 77088.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
