Teresita Farias Ramirez passed away peacefully on February 14th in Edinburg, TX alongside her loving family. She was 86 years old and simply known to most people as “Tere.”

Teresita was an angel walking on earth. She never met a stranger. As a woman of strong Catholic faith, she always found the time to help others. People often reached out to her in their time of need with prayer requests. She also helped raise many children during her time and became an unofficial “Tia Tere” or “Grandma Tere” to many. Known for her incredible cooking skills, people often reached out to her during the holidays requesting recipes.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Nayda (Oscar) Ortiz, Gerardo (Erika) Ramirez, Grandchildren: Anissa (Jonathan Navarro) Ortiz, Isabella Ortiz, Gerardo Isaac Ramirez, and Joseph Jerrick Ramirez, Siblings: Rosario (+Manuel) Arzamendi, Cleotilde (Reynaldo) Palos, and Roberto (Mari) Farias, Brother in law: Alfredo De Los Santos, as well as numerous cousins, nephews, nieces and close friends.
