In accordance with her wishes, only a private service was held at the Darling-Mouser Funeral Home followed by cremation and internment at a later date. A funeral mass will be held at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 1218 E. Jefferson St., Brownsville, Texas on Tuesday the 22nd of November, 2016 at 10:00 AM.
