Emma Bencomo

Emma Duran Bencomo, a lifelong resident of El Paso, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of grace, elegance, and boundless love. Born on August 9, 1934, to Leonardo and Matilde Duran, Emma was the epitome of love, grace, and beauty. She lived her life by a simple yet profound guiding philosophy: that whatever you do in life, you must do it with love.

Emma was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her warmth and kindness touched everyone who knew her. She is survived by her husband of many years, Jaime Bencomo; her loving children, Angelina Bencomo and James Bencomo, Jr.; her cherished grandchildren, Sophie Sirois, Celine Sirois, Breanna Bencomo Perez, and Nathan Bencomo, and her grand dog, Lea. She also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will miss her dearly.

She is now reunited in eternal peace with her beloved daughter, Belinda Bencomo Sirois; her parents, Leonardo and Matilde Villalobos Duran; and her siblings, Leonard, Ruly, George, Angelina, Matilde, Elva, and Emma, who predeceased her.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to her medical and care team, including Drs. Maria Elena De Benedetti Zunino, Raquel Araujo Gutierrez, and Dr. Olufemi Aduroja, as well as nurses and healthcare professionals Maribel Rodriguez, Erik Valenzuela, Celia Cruz, and all others who showed her kindness. Special thanks are also extended to Amparo Sandoval Gomez, Maria Brown, and Armida Salas for the exceptional love, dedication, and care they provided to Emma.

In accordance with the family’s wishes, funeral services will be private and held for immediate family only.
