Delma Noriega, 60, of Sonora, Texas, gently left us to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 14, 2024. Born on February 10, 1964, Delma was the beloved daughter of Jose T. Noriega and Rosa Lumbreras Noriega. A cherished member of the Sonora community, she was affectionately known as Wera or La Wera de Sonora.
Delma was a woman of remarkable strength and independence, dedicating 40 years to her calling as a caregiver. Her work went beyond mere profession; she built deep and enduring bonds with those she cared for, treating them as extended family. Delma was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, friend, and caregiver, but her most treasured role was that of “NaNa.” Her granddaughters, Miranda and McKenna (Andi Y Kenna), were her pride and joy, the lights of her life whom she adored beyond measure.
Known for her vibrant personality, Delma was instantly recognizable by her signature bright red lipstick and her "go big or go home" attitude. Her spirited nature and candidness made her the life of any gathering, and her presence was always felt. She had a unique way of making every event memorable, leaving behind a legacy of laughter and joy.
Delma is preceded in death by her father, Jose T. Noriega; her mother, Rosa Lumbreras Noriega; her sister, Josie Luna; her beloved cousin and best friend, Emma Sepeda; and her sister-in-law, Yvonnette Noriega.
She leaves behind her cherished daughter, Kimberley “Nikki” and son-in-law Allen Arreosola; her adored granddaughters, Miranda and McKenna; and her siblings Paul Ramirez (Vicky), Victor Ramirez, Albert Ramirez (Frances), Jessie Noriega, and Joe Michael Noriega. Also mourning her loss are her sister Lupe Sentena (Joe), Gloria Hernandez, Sally Sanchez (Ismael), and Rosa Sanchez (George), along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who were dear to her heart.
Delma will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her spirit, her laughter, and her boundless love will remain in our hearts forever.
