Guadalupe N. Arreguin, 67, entered into eternal rest, Sunday, January 28, 2024
Guadalupe retired from the Laredo Police Department as a Fingerprint Technician after 28 years of service. She was also the first female civilian in her department. During this time, she also worked as a Juvenile Detention Officer with the Webb County Juvenile Detention Center and as a TSA inspection officer. She worked two or three jobs at the same time to fulfil her dreams of building her rental business. Her hard work paid off and she managed to build a very successful rental business. Through the years with this business and her working career, she has touched many people’s lives with her wonderful, sweet spirit. She leaves many examples to her loved ones on how to work hard and play hard.
Guadalupe was humble, kind, and a generous person that loved her fur babies from chickens, dogs, goats, cattle, and horses. She also enjoyed watering her garden at night and watching her favorite novelas with her sister Beatriz. Guadalupe really enjoyed the time she spent driving her grandkids to their sports practices and games. She cheered for them during baseball games, swim meets, and piano recitals. She loved to enjoy the serenity at her ranch as she fed the fish in the fishpond. She enjoyed the fresh air, wonderful sunrises and sunsets to unwind from the fast-paced life in the city. Guadalupe may be gone but never forgotten. She lives in our hearts and will forever be present in us a we close our eyes and listen for her spirit to touch our souls.
She is preceded in death by her spouse, Porfirio Arreguin III, mother, Maria Del Refugio Negrete and father, Federico Negrete.
She is survived by her husband, Oscar Padilla; children, Porfirio (Claudia) “Pilo” Arreguin IV, Andres (Christina) Arreguin and Celina (Jeffery) Reiman; sisters, Norma Negrete, Dora (Jorge) Vasquez, Federico (Gabriela) Negrete, Beatriz Negrete and Josefina (Doug) Durham; grandchildren, Alexis, Lauren, Emma, Andrew, Aaron, Aiden, Colton and Rozalin; as well as nieces, nephews, other family members and friends that will greatly miss her.
