Consuelo E.

Palacios

Our dear Mother, Consuelo E. Palacios, was born on the 14th of June 1932 in Mexico, to her parents, Cesario Elizondo and Antonia Gutierrez.  She passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 14, 2025, exactly one month shy of her 93rd birthday.

Consuelo is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Pedro Palacios, Sr., her only son, Pedro Palacios, Jr. and her brother, Jose Luis Elizondo.

Her three daughters survive her, Connie (Juan) Huerta, Mandy (Felix) Ramirez, Lydia (Rolando) Rodriguez, and daughter-in-law, Rosemary Palacios (+Pedro); her grandchildren, Edward (Laura) Huerta, Samuel (Terry) Huerta, Erica (Fabian) Estrada, Pedro (Laura) Palacios IV, Marissa (Danny) Sandoval, Jacob (Bianca) Ramirez, Stephanie Rae Ramirez, Adrian (Amanda) Rodriguez, Kevin Rodriguez, Marc (Kayla) Rodriguez,  13 great grandchildren, with one on the way; sister, Antonia Moreno, and a sister by heart, Lupita Ramirez Palacios.

Consuelo was known for her love, knowledge and devotion to the Catholic faith.  She was the strong matriarch glue of the family. She was a hard worker with a strong work ethic which she demonstrated throughout her life.  A lifetime member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, she served her parish in many ministries, her best serving as an adult catechist.

As her family grieves her passing, unified in the faith she instilled, we will hold her wishes for Christian love, peace and kindness close.  From her encouraging words of, "Querer Es Poder," to her comforting lullabies, she will forever live on in our memories, our traditions and in the stories for generations to come.

She was a counselor whose advice was as gentle as it was profound, guiding us through life's twists and turns with a steady hand. Her personality was a tapestry of compassion and resilience, woven with threads of grace and wisdom. Her nurturing spirit created a sanctuary of love for all who knew her. She was the embodiment of love, touching lives with her kindness and leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations. Consuelo, lovingly known as "Nana," was a remarkable woman who has made an undeniable mark in the hearts of many. We will carry the legacy of her love with us, forever cherishing the memories and the joy she brought into our lives.

Honored to serve as pallbearers are her grandsons, Edward Huerta, Samuel Huerta, Pedro Palacios IV, Adrian Rodriguez, Jacob Ramirez, Kevin Rodriguez and Marc Rodriguez.

The family will receive friends and relatives on Friday, May 16, 2025 from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with Rosary recited at 7:00 p.m. by her Godson, Fr. Pedro Hernandez.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 412 South "C" Street.  Following the Mass, Consuelo will be laid to rest at Restlawn Memorial Park in La Feria, Texas.
