Lorenza R. Ruiz

Lorenza R. Ruiz, beloved matriarch, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 97. Born on May 4, 1928, in Floresville, Texas, she led a life marked by devout faith, boundless love for her family, and a deep commitment to her community.

Lorenza exemplified a spirit of kindness and devotion. She dedicated herself to introducing others to her faith, taking immense pride in bringing people to the church and helping them find their own spiritual paths. Her enthusiasm for nurturing both plants and people was evident in her cherished garden, where she spent countless hours caring for her beloved flowers and plants, pouring the same love into her garden as she did into her relationships.

As a mother, Lorenza leaves behind her five dedicated sons, Ramiro Romero, Ricardo Romero, Raymundo Jr. Romero, Rudolfo Romero, and Rolando Romero, along with her loving daughters, Rosalinda Pena and Rachel Hinojosa; and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other family members. They were enriched by her wisdom and unwavering support throughout their lives.

Lorenza is preceded in death by her siblings, Juan Jr. Ruiz, Dolores Ruiz, Matias Ruiz and Maria Lara. Each of these departed family members held a special place in her heart, and their memories will continue to be cherished by those who remain.
