Luz Maria Lomeli

Luz Maria Lomeli passed away peacefully in her home on February 27, 2025 after a difficult battle with cancer. Her last moments were spent surrounded by love and family. She maintained her strong faith in God throughout her life and to the very end, she knew that she would be going home to heaven. She was full of kindness, love, happiness, laughter, and life. Nothing could bring her down, always sporting the biggest smile in the room. She was carefree and loving, something that everyone she interacted with remembers her by. 

Lucy was born April 3, 1968 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to Benjamin and Margarita Morales who have both preceded her in death. She is survived by her siblings, Guadalupe Stansberry, Juan Morales, Benjamin Morales, Martin Morales, Gerardo Morales, and Cristina Morales-Ocampo. The family immigrated to the United States when she was 14. She graduated from Hereford High School in 1986, then went on to graduate in 1994 with her Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Bilingual Education from the University of Texas at El Paso. Upon graduation she began her teaching career at Crosby Elementary where she taught for many years until the school closed, then she went on to work at Coach Archie Duran Elementary until her passing.

Lucy was a teacher for 31 years and touched many lives. She is very loved by all her students and fellow teachers. Throughout the years, she could never leave a building without seeing someone she knew. Running into previous students would always bring a smile to her face and loved hearing of their endeavors. Everyone remembers her by her beautiful smile and laugh that can fill a whole room. 

Lucy is survived by her ex-husband Julio Arturo Lomeli and their three children; Alyssa Raquel Lomeli, Julio Arturo Lomeli III, and Isaias Aaron Lomeli. Her greatest loves were her children, they brought her great joy. She was a great example to many for her dedication, hard work, and faith. She will be greatly missed by all of her loved ones. 

Visitation will take place on Tuesday, March 04, 2025 from 2:00 - 6:00 PM with Prayer Service at 4:00 PM at Sunset Funeral Homes- Northeast, 4631 Hondo Pass.
