CRYSTAL CITY — Veronica Villalobos Barajas (53), daughter of the late Jesus “Chuy” Villalobos, passed to eternal rest together with her mother Elida Villaloboson February17, 2023.
Veronica was an exceptional wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, and sister. She is survived by Joel Barajas, her loving husband of 35 years and four daughters; Ruby (Mathew) Villareal, Vanessa (Adrian) Ibarra, Valarie (Tom) Vela, Viviana (AJ) Zarate, and 14 grandchildren.
She truly had a heart of gold that held nothing but love and kindness towards others. She was a faithful servant of our Lord, her family,andhercommunity. She was a humble, loving, passionate, unselfish spiritual warrior who always put the needs of others before hers and made every person she encountered feel lovedand special. This selflessness was demonstrated by her caring for her mother, Elida Villalobos, until the last moment of their lives. Her passing has left a void in her family and community that will forever go unfilled.
The family finds solace in knowing that Veronica strongly believed in Our Savior Jesus Christ and eternal life. Therefore, they are comforted by the fact that all who believe will someday be reunited with her once again.
