Anita

Acosta

Anita Acosta went to be with our Lord and Savior on April 3rd, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Anita was born in San Perlita, on March 30th, 1949, to Pedro and Bonifacia Soria. She was one of 10 children. She was a graduate of Raymondville High School and a devout member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Raymondville, TX where she met her husband, Hector Juan Acosta Sr. They married in the church on September 15th, 1979.

Together they raised an incredible family with four children: Hector Juan II, Rene Lee, Bianca, and Josue. Anita also embraced Hector Sr.'s first daughter, Sandra Garcia, as her own. Anita devoted her life to serving others whether at her kids' soccer games, with her brothers and sisters, or through the church.

Anita served the community of Harlingen throughout her life as a Paralegal with Texas Rural Legal Aid. Spiritually, she served as a choir director and CCD teacher in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and Our Lady of the Assumption Church. Anita celebrated the blessings of God with many generations of friends and family.

Her greatest blessings were her nine grandchildren, Iliana Sofia, Hector Juan III, Gabriel Nicolas, Lucas Josue, Jacob David, Caleb James, Josue III, Rudy, and Danyssa. She loved spending time with her grandchildren at piano lessons, soccer, baseball, and basketball games, band concerts, and family gatherings.

Anita faithfully donated her time to the church including singing for funerals and rosaries with her sisters, attending weekly mass, and offering prayers to her community. She loved collecting plants and flowers and always seemed to have a furry friend, Perla, Canela, or Chiquita by her side on the porch. Anita felt the strong desire to serve and tithe to Catholic community churches nationwide. Anita also spent her life donating to those in need through numerous charitable organizations, such as St. Jude's Children's Hospital and the American Red Cross.

Anita is preceded in death by her mother and father, Pedro and Bonifacia Soria, her brothers Raphael De Leon and Nicanor De Leon, her stepdaughter Sandra Garcia, and her niece Rosalinda Delgado.

Anita has a long list of family to carry on her legacy of giving and lifting others in prayer. They include her husband Hector Sr., her children and two daughters in law Hector II (Venessa), Rene, Bianca, and Josue (Caitlin), her grandchildren Iliana, Hector III, Gabriel, Lucas, Jacob, Caleb, Josue III, Rudy, and Danyssa.
