Torres

Jesusita Torres, Susie, went to be with our Lord July 31, 2022 in Harlingen TX following a valiant battle against vasculitis. Susie was born August 30, 1946 in Harlingen, Texas to Pedro and Crisanta Torres. She grew up in Harlingen, attended school and worked locally until 1976 when she fell in love and moved to the Houston area. There she took responsibility for and raised 5 children. Susie worked for the Clear Creek Independent School district for about 20 years as a cafeteria Manager. After retiring from CCISD, she moved back to Harlingen and worked for several years at Calvary Christian Academy managing their school cafeteria.

She loved her family especially Johnny and Alex and Josie. She took care of Johnny during his last years as he battled cancer and then later cared for her brother Larry as well until his death.

She loved to travel, loved the beach, enjoyed plants, going out to eat with friends, and most of all her cats.

Susie was preceded in death by her parents, 2 of her brothers, Johnny and Larry, a sister in law Rosie, and 2 spouses.

Susie is survived by her daughter Angela (Bob) Barry of League City Texas, her grandson Ethan Barry, daughters Irma, Dora, Maria and son Jose. Her brother Alex and beautiful sister in law Josie Torres of Tucson Arizona, her brother Peter (Mary) Torres in California, Brother Henry Torres of Harlingen, niece Maribeth (Jimmy, Ava and Aiden) Drechen, Nephews John-Paul Torres and Perry Torres.
