Matilde Pargas

On December 17, 2013 our beloved Matilde Pargas, wife, mother and grandmother passed away peacefully at the age of 84 surrounded by family. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Eugenio Pargas, as well as her children: Emy Hernandez (Tony), Roberto Acosta, Natalia (Samuel) Gutierrez, Eugenio (Rosaura) Pargas Jr. , Guille (Mario) Rodriguez, Lola Pargas, Alfredo (Maria) Pargas, Irene (Johnny) Franco, and Ricardo (Melissa) Pargas. She was preceded in death by her sons Ramon and Carlos Pargas. Born in Santa Barbara Chihuahua Mexico, Matilde grew to become a symbol of strength and unconditional love. When she wasn’t preparing unforgettable meals for her family, she could be found tending to her breathtaking garden. A devout Catholic, Matilde’s relentless faith carried her through a courageous battle with cancer that proved to be miraculous. As her journey came to an end, she was surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She will forever be in the hearts of her 9 surviving children, 26 grandchildren, and 16 great grandchildren. Abuelita, descanse en paz. Esperenos en el cielo y cuidenos en la tierra.
