Mary Ellen Villanueva, 57 of San Angelo, became an angel in heaven on Wednesday, June 17, 2015. A celebration of her life is at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at College Hills Baptist Church with Pastor Lakan Mariano officiating. Arrangements are by Johnson's Funeral Home.
Mary will be remembered as a wonderful, caring, giving, and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was the most considerate person with a wonderful laugh that would just light up the whole room. Mary loved to read her bible, sew, fish, cook, spend time with family, and sing. Her baptism was an amazing and blessed accomplishment, but her children are her greatest accomplishment.
Though we may not see her in this world again, we know and believe we will all be reunited with her in heaven one day. These words will never truly express the way we love and cherish our beautiful mommy. We don't know a better word for love, but the word mommy sure does describe it all.
She was preceded in death by her mother Esperanza (Hope) Villanueva and grandson EnRicco Jose Garza. Survivors include her father Paul G. Villanueva, Sr. of Hermleigh, Texas; children: Paul Landin and wife Dolores of Huntsville, Texas, Carey Reeves and husband Virgil and Henry Garza and wife Roxann of San Angelo, Crissy Colon and husband Hector of Deltona, Florida, and Joey Garza and wife Crystal and Ringo Garza, Sr. and wife Lenora, all of San Angelo; siblings: Paul R.
