Feliza Margarita Bermea Orellana

January 15, 1952 - December 11, 2024

Harlingen, Texas

Feliza Margarita Bermea Orellana, 72, of Harlingen, TX, entered God's Heavenly Kingdom on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024, in Harlingen, Texas.

Born on January 15, 1952, in Harlingen, Feliza was the daughter of parents Maria Elena Garza Bermea and Felix Bermea. Tragically her father passed away when she was teenager, so her and her brothers took care of their mom. At a young age, Feliza demonstrated compassion and care in everything she did. She was involved in many extracurricular activities in school such as H.O.E.A, which specialized in learning techniques of office work. She was also in Future Homemakers of America (FHA) and The Future Teachers of America (FTA). She was a proud Harlingen High School graduate, Class of 1971. Feliza went on to attend TSTI, now known as TSTC. When her mother got sick, Feliza sacrificed her college degree to take care of her mother full time until she entered eternal rest.

As a young adult, she worked at several places as a secretary, but the job that brought her the most joy was talking care of special needs children as a teacher. One day she had a very bad fall at work and became permanently disabled due to back issues. Feliza was raised catholic but became a born-again Christian.  She believed with all her heart that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died for our sins, then resurrected to heaven with our almighty father. She then devoted her life to being a Christian prayer warrior, and missionary. Her prayers were powerful and moved mountains.  People from everywhere would call her to get prayers for themselves and their loved ones, because they knew God was working through her.  It did not matter if she was at a store or restaurant, she would always make time to pray for others despite the personal struggles she was enduring. Her home church for over 20 years was Spirit of Praise Church in Harlingen under the leadership of pastor Mike Sullivan. Her favorite scripture was "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13. She instilled this in her children along with her legacy of Christianity, and the value of an education which lives on through them.

At age 32, Feliza found true love. She was pure and married her one and only love, Rodolfo Martinez Orellana from San Salvador, El Salvador at the Maranatha Baptist Church on April 7th, 1984, in Harlingen, Texas. They shared 22 years together until their separation in 2006. They had 4 children, unfortunately the eldest, Emmanuel Orellana, went to go meet the lord at birth.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Maria and Felix Bermea; her brothers Felix Bermea Jr. (Lupita Bermea), Feliberto "Beto" G. Bermea (San Juanita Quintanilla), and Fernando Bermea. Feliza is survived by her three children: Rebecca A. Orellana-Anciso (Bobby Anciso), Rodolfo "Rudy" Isaac Orellana (Ella McGee), Raquel Elena Orellana-Pohl (late Christopher Pohl); her 6 grandchildren Theresa Belen Anciso, Roxanne Belen Anciso, Bobby "Junito" Anciso Jr. (Rebecca & Bobby); DeAndre LaVohn York, Elijah Christopher Orellana, Raevyn Estrella Orellana (Rudy & Ella). She loved her parents, brothers, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and all of her family very much.

She enjoyed several things and some of her favorite past times were watching tv and loved Hercules the Legendary Journeys and Walker, Texas Ranger. Her favorite color is teal. She loved reading the Bible and the word of God, praying multiple times a day. She enjoyed word search puzzles, scrapbooking, and cooking for her family. Her most favorite thing to do was hanging out with her children and grandchildren as a family. Feliza was an active PTA parent volunteer. She loved traveling with family and was a beautiful writer, who liked journaling all her adventures. Her favorite personal saying was "The past is the past," which speaks to her belief in forgiveness, belief that everyone deserves redemption, and to put things behind you by trusting in God to show you the way. Feliza's wish is for everyone to receive the plan of salvation and guarantee their place in Heaven. She was loved by everyone who met her and left a legacy through her children.
