Timeline for Amelia J. Magallanes
Born: June 18, 1935
Died: August 29, 2022
Our precious mother, Amelia J. Magallanes, a lifelong Laredoan, passed away peacefully on August 29, 2022. Amelia was a devoted and loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was happiest spending time with her children and grandchildren, especially celebrating each birthday with the family’s traditional cake and ice cream. She enjoyed day trips to the mall with her older sister where they would occasionally meet old friends while having lunch at the food court. While in San Antonio visiting her oldest sister, they would ride the city bus to enjoy a day of mall shopping, eating ice cream and visiting her nephews and nieces.
Amelia was born in Laredo, Texas and was a proud Martin High School graduate. She worked from a young age in multiple retail stores located in “El Centro” during a time downtown Laredo was the heartbeat of the city.
In the mid 1960s, while on a trip to Mexico City with her best friend, she met her future husband, Agustin. After a two-year long-distance relationship, Agustin proposed to his future wife, and they married on January 2, 1970, in Laredo, Texas. They began their life as a married couple in Mexico, City, where they lived seven years before making their permanent home in Laredo, Texas.
As her children got older, she began working as a ticket clerk for LISD’s Katherine F. Tarver Elementary School, and she retired in 2004. She took great pleasure working as a clerk for 20 years and made many lifelong friends.
Amelia was a strong woman with the kindest heart and will be fondly remembered for her sweet smile and her devotion to her favorite restaurants, Freddy’s and Cracker Barrel in San Antonio.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Victorino and Manuela Juarez, her husband, Agustin Magallanes Rincón, and parents-in-law, Agustin and Maria de Jesus Magallanes.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Agustin Antonio (Lorraine) Magallanes, Amelia Alicia (Gilberto Jr.) Magallanes Arguijo, and Ariadne Alejandra (Jose Baldemar Jr.) Gonzalez; her sisters Maria Minerva Ramirez and Rosa Alicia Sciaraffa; her grandsons Nicholas Nora and Zachariah Nora; granddaughters Bianca Marlen Ulloa and Bella Ulloa; her brother-in-law, Raymundo (Mari Cruz) Magallanes Rincón, beloved nephews, nieces, cousins, and other relatives, life-long neighbors, and friends.
The family would like to extend their deep gratitude to The START Center for Cancer Care in San Antonio and especially to Dr. Ronald L. Drengler, Dr. Allen White, and her caring nurses Monica, Val, Cindy, and Amanda. The family would also like to thank the nursing staff at Nurses on Wheels Hospice Care and her devoted caretakers Adriana, Dulce, and Rosy.

To all the siblings of Mrs Magallanes, my sincere condolences to you all May she Rest In Peace!!! She’s another Angel watching over all of you 😇🙏
Extremely sorry for your loss, she always greeted me with big smile and warm embrace, her sister was never to far . Thank you for making me feel special.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of Mrs. Magallanes' family members. I grew up having Mrs. Magallanes as a neighbor who lived across the street on O'kane street. I have beautiful memories of her. She was a beautiful lady with a spirit of an angel. She always had a smile on her face and had a beautiful respectful personality. She always had a "good morning", "good evening", or "here is a bag of grapefruits for you" to say. She was a wonderful neighbor to both of my parents Alfonso and Maria Fernandez for many many years. She was also a great friend to both my aunts Hortencia and Trinidad Garcia. She consistently called my 91-year-old aunt Hortencia who also lives across the street to check up on her and to offer her some grapefruits. I am grateful to God for giving my parents, my aunts, my siblings, and myself such a beautiful neighbor. I will miss seeing her and having those beautiful conversations with her. May Mrs. Magallanes rest in peace.
To the Magallanes Family,Ms. Amelia was a great lady! She was very kind to the Arguijo Family and we will miss her immensely! Our condolences for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Growing up, I loved our summer stays in Laredo TX where I would meet for the first time my future Tio Augustin as he would visit my Tia Amelia. I was just a kid and wanted to play. I remember entering the front living room where they were quietly talking. Holding hands as they looked into each others eyes, filled with love. Thank you for allowing me to see your love.
