Obituary
La Feria, TX -
Elida Medellin Torres went to be with her Lord and Savior February 19, 2017. She was born November 5, 1941 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
Elida is preceded in death by her father, Severino R. Medellin; her mother, Eva S. Medellin; her brother, Hector Medellin; and her grandmother, Benita Garza.
Elida is survived by: her husband of fifty three years, Miguel Torres; son Michael (Cynthia) Torres; Javier Torres, and David Torres; her four granddaughters Cassandra (Luis) Zuvieta, Sarah Torres, Felicia Torres, and Anna Torres. She is also survived by her sisters Lilia (Roy) Longoria, Irma Quintero, Ofelia (Oscar) Ozuna, Mary Soto, and Sally Fernandez. She is also survived by her brother, Ernesto Medellin.
Elida, who was also affectionately known as "Lala" or "Aunt Lala" is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews, grand nieces, and grand nephews. She was an active member of Primera Iglesia Bautista and loved to sing in the choir. She also was very involved in Missions serving in WMU. She was a nurse at Valley Baptist Medical Center for thirty four years where she worked in the PCC unit and Mother-Baby Unit. When she wasn't devoting her life to her patients, she enjoyed spending time with her family; especially her four granddaughters. Our grandma always instilled three major values of our lives: God, family, and education. Her love and constant support made many of us who we are today. We will miss her laugh, comfort, and never ending faith in the Lord. The family is forever grateful for the love and care shown by her providers: Josefina Quezada and Mary Lozano.
