San Antonio

Maria Teresa Mata Torres nació en Tepatiltan de Morelos Jalisco el 21 de enero de 1970. Hija primogénita de Jose Guadalupe Mata y de Maria de lo Angeles Torres. Se unió en matrimonio a Jose Martin el 29 de junio de 1990, y migro a los Estados Unidos, país donde residió el resto de su vida, siendo San Antonio, Texas, su ultimo lugar de residencia.

 

Tere encontró su pasión en la educación y el servicio a los demás. Maestra, catequista, misionera, servidora, dirigente del grupo juvenil de su iglesia, participante del coro. Una mujer siempre dispuesta a tenderle la mano a quien mas lo necesitara.

 

En su vida personal, siempre fue una mujer que amaba bailar, que disfrutaba del ejercicio y de cantar. La mejor organizadora de reuniones familiares. Quien siempre intercedía y era siempre una persona conciliadora que gozaba de ver a la familia unida. Siempre presente en la vida de sus seres queridos, ya fueran cercanos o a distancia.

 

Mujer integra, respetuosa, honesta y compasiva, quien siempre sembró amor y bondad en las vidas de todas aquellas personas que tuvieron el privilegio de compartir con ella. Su alegría era contagiosa y su sonrisa podia iluminar cualquier lugar donde ella estuviera presente. Un ser humano muy fácil de querer.

 

Su vida y su generosidad serán siempre recordadas, así como el amor inmenso y sincero que siempre demostró a sus seres queridos.

 

A Tere le sobreviven sus tres hijos, Jesus, Josue y Jocelyne, sus dos nietos, Camila y Elijah, su madre, Maria de los Angeles Torres, sus 8 hermanos y sus 17 sobrinos.
