Marcela V. Tristan's Obituary
Marcela V. Tristan (also lovingly known as "Mom" to the entire family) entered the loving arms of Our Lord on Jan 28th 2021 at the age of 89 years old. She was born to Ladislao Vasquez and Margarita Jaques.
"Mom" was one in a million that was always there in our needs not only as children but as adults. She loved her crocheting, bingo, music and dancing. May that love surround you now and bring you peace. Mom's hold their children's hands for a while but their hearts forever. We truly never learned what the words 'I miss' were until we reach for our Mom's and it isn't' there. In life, we love you dearly, in death, we love you still.
"Mom" is preceded in death by husband of 50+ years, Frank Tristan Sr, sons, Gilbert and Richard Tristan and twin Sister, Rose Maria Tristan.
"Mom" leaves to cherish her memories to her daughters, Frances (Pancha) and Augustine Gonzales; Hermania (Minna) and Johnny Gonzales, Anna Maria (Annie) and Larry Garza, Rebecca (Becky) and Thomas Martinez, Caroline (Carol) Leyva and Pamela Ann (Pam) and Jose Mendoza. Sons, Ray and Gloria Tristan; Henry and Lisa Tristan, Frank Tristan Jr and Pedro (Pete) Tristan with our Uncle Johnny and Lupe Vasquez. Numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great children.
