Francisca Zuniga

Francisca B. Zuniga, 91

Passed on Monday, October 19" 2026

Francisca was born in Sinaloa, Mexico, and spent most of her early life there with her mother and siblings, whom she loved and cared for. She met her husband in Juárez, Mexico, and they later immigrated to the United States, settling in El Paso, Texas. After several years together, they had children. Before her youngest child was born, she worked at the Blue Bell Factory and enjoyed her time there. She eventually decided to devote her time to her family and raising her children.

Throughout her life, Francisca cared not only for her children but also for family members and loved ones. She developed skills in cooking and baking, but her greatest passion was sewing. She sewed in her free time and passed this interest on to her family. Her home welcomed not only her own family but anyone who needed shelter or was simply visiting; she was a mother to all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Francisca is preceded in death by her parents, Jesus Banuelos and Augustina Millan, and her siblings, Julian, Ramon, Juanita, Antonia, Catalina, and Alberto. She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Alfredo Zuniga; her daughters, Isabel and Yvette; and her only son, Alfredo Jr. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Jessica, Gilbert, Antonio, and Annette, and her great-grandchildren, Markus, Dominick, and Dante.
