Our loving mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend Gracie Silvola , aka Big Mama, 77, entered the Lord's heavenly kingdom on March 31, 2026 in Harlingen, Texas.

She leaves behind her loving family to cherish her loving memory. Children- Yvonne (Ralph) Castillo, Anita (Eric Tello)Silvola, Charlie (Fela) Silvola and her brother, Armando (Bea) Lopez, 6 grandkids, 17 great-grandkids, and 1 great-great-granddaughter. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, relatives, and many, many loving friends..

Gracie made friends wherever she went with whomever she met. She was loved by so many.

She treated them as family. Gracie enjoyed laughing, joking around, dancing, chalupa, playing pool, and of course, the beach and her Dallas Cowboys. There was never a dull moment when she was around. Her laugh, her smile, and her silliness will truly be missed by everyone. She was truly a diamond in the rough.
