Dolores C. Vasquez

June 1, 1933 - February 14, 2021

Our beloved Dolores Vasquez , age 87 of Simonton, Texas, not Cuero, Texas, passed away on February 14, 2021. Though she fought so hard to stay with us a little longer, our Lord called her home. Dolores was a beautiful, strong woman with a very generous heart. Those who knew her would tell you stories of how her strength, generosity and how she protected her beloved, Eddie Red.They will tell you she had many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and that their lives will never be the same without her. They will tell you, she is a woman of great sacrifice. Dolores left school at an early age so that she could help her mother with her siblings, a common road taken for her generation. With only an elementary education, she made significant contributions to the world by way of her legacy through her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is true, she has sacrificed her entire life, her chance at education and all her free time to care for those she loved. This sacrifice was not limited to her siblings, but graciously extended to her children, her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her sacrifices do not go unnoticed and we can only hope to love the way she loved. Many don't know this. but she was actually the very first entrepreneur of the family, opening doors of ambition, determination and hard work for everyone who followed her. Dolores spent the last years of her life with her beloved best friend, Eddie Red. Together, they took many trips together, had many laughs and kept great company. The family is immensely thankful for Red and the great care he took of her, even in her very last days. COVID19 forced many people to be alone, limited time with family but Red stayed by her side. The family cannot thank him enough for all he did for our late matriarch. Many do not know this, but she once shoved a woman into a wall just for looking at Red, so if you had any thoughts, please think twice. :) She walked into heaven donning her favorite sparkly hat, red nails and some white diamonds perfume, you could spot her infectious smile a mile a way. In heaven, she is sure to stand out, but we hope she knows, she can't curse but she wont have a reason to. All joking aside, the loss of this beautiful woman, the family matriarch, is emotionally tremendous. The family seeks the Lord and his strength as they try to move forward with a great part of them missing. Please keep the family in your prayers.
