Guadalupe Meza's Obituary
Lupe Meza
December 12, 1943 – June 20, 2025
Lupe Meza, 81, of Pearland, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2025. Born in El Campo, Texas, on December 12, 1943, Lupe later moved to Pearland, where she graduated from Pearland High School and built a life rooted in family, community, and dedication.
Lupe worked for many years in Pearland ISD, holding various roles throughout the district, but was best known as the longtime accountant at Pearland High School. She took pride in her work and the relationships she built with students and staff alike, leaving a lasting impact before retiring.
A fierce competitor with a love for softball, Lupe founded the Pearland Women’s Softball League and was actively involved in her children’s athletic lives through the Pearland Dad’s Club. Whether cheering from the sidelines or organizing events, she was always all-in. She also had a passion for the thrill of the slot machines, and anyone who went gambling with her knew she had the magic touch.
Lupe was known for her strong will, sharp wit, and unfiltered honesty. She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, and those who knew her loved her all the more for it.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Benny Meza; her children, Catherine and Vincent; her beloved grand-dogs, Bandit and Bruno; and her sisters, Lala Ruiz, Helen Semintal, and Olga Sosa.
Lupe will be deeply missed by all who loved her, but her legacy of strength, spirit, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of many.
