Sylvia Juarez Alvarado, 68 years old, of San Angelo, Texas went to be with the Lord on October 25, 2023.

She was born in San Angelo to Manuel and Obdulia Juarez on September 25, 1955. She was the third child/first daughter of five children.

She married Albert O. Alvarado on July 21, 1979. They have two daughter’s, Michelle Alvarado Malone and Misty R. Alvarado Hernandez. Sylvia and Albert worked hard to give their daughters a good childhood and amazing memories. She was a very caring mother to her daughters and always wanted them to have more than she had growing up. She wanted them to grow up and make her proud, but honestly no matter what they chose to do and where they chose to live she was going to be so proud of them and let the world know it.

Sylvia loved fiercely. She would have your back and be your protector yet always let you know how much she cared. She was full of life and love. The family has been told by many how much she loved her family, especially her six grandchildren,

Arthur J Malone III (39), Jasmine Malone (33) Brandon Malone (30), Ava Danielle Malone (17), Mason James Malone (7) and Lillie Renee Hernandez (7). Her grandchildren could do no wrong in her eyes. She loved them all so very much (may have spoiled them just a little bit) and nothing would make her and Albert more happy than spending time with them and watching them grow.

Not only did she enjoy spending time with her family and friends, but she also LOVED the Dallas Cowboys, Texas A&M Aggies, any team her grandkids played on, traveling, tranquil activities such as reading and coloring, watching her soaps and Hallmark channel, various spicy foods, talking on the phone, and telling stories about her favorite memories. She had many favorite pastimes but listening to music and dancing were two things all of us have seen her enjoy.

Sylvia was preceded in death by Manuel Juarez, Obdulia Juarez, her brothers Oscar Juarez, Abel Juarez and Mario Juarez. She is survived by her sister Cynthia and her husband Venancio Gonzalez, her husband Albert Alvarado, Michelle and husband Rev. Arthur J. Malone II, Misty and her husband Benjamin Hernandez, her six grandchildren Arthur, Jasmine, Brandon, Ava, Mason and Lillie and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and loved ones.

The memorial for Sylvia Alvarado will be on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at Harper Funeral Home in San Angelo, Texas at 2:00pm.

Weldon Wayne (Bob) Roberts, departed this life on Oct. 24, 2023 at the age of 89. He was a devoted husband to Nettie Bob and a loving father to his daughters Kim Harrison and Paula Mailloux.

Bob shared a deep and enduring love of 65 years with his wife, Nettie Bob. Together, they created a bond of love, respect and friendship.

As a father, Bob leaves behind a legacy of love and guidance for his daughters. His influence on their lives has been immeasurable, instilling in them the values of honesty, integrity, determination, a good work ethic and how to stay true to themselves. He will forever be a guiding light in their lives.

In addition to his wife and daughters, Bob is survived by his sons-in-law Doug Harrison and Keith Mailloux. He was proud to be the loving ‘Daddy Bob’ to five grandsons, Scott and Clint Harrison and Craig, Luc and Zach Mailloux along with their wives Joni, Jessica and Kristen. Bob was also blessed with 7 great grandchildren.

Bob was born in Robert Lee, Texas to Effie and Powell Roberts. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Oral, Aubrey and Jack Roberts and sisters, Christine Murtishaw and Edna Gillit.

Bob served in the US Marines, 1954-1956, earning the National Defense Service Medal. Bob worked for El Paso Natural Gas for over 35 years, beginning in the field department and ending his career as a Chief Pipeline Inspector.

He was a self-taught man with a god given talent to create and construct many a project. While his talents weren’t on the artistic level, he was blessed with the ability to build practical, useful creations.

Bob’s backyard shop was a gathering place for neighbors and friends to stop in and visit. They were always happy to watch Bob work on his projects and frequently helped.

He built many truck campers for himself and others, some of which may still be in use today. Bob even made his own fiberglass boat for fishing down the Rio Grande.

In his younger days, Bob was a member of the Rio Grande fishing club. He and a group of likeminded men would spend a week boating and fishing down the Rio Grande. After every trip, the group shared their catch with a large family fish-fry. The fun-filled trips resulted in a lifetime of friendships.

Bob built two homes, the first one in Cloudcroft, NM, followed by a home near Lake Nasworthy on the outskirts of San Angelo.

Bob was a true example of generosity, always quietly offering a helping hand or giving to those in need without seeking any recognition or praise. His selfless acts remained concealed behind a humble and unassuming demeanor, a testament to his genuine kindness.

Bob was a member of Southgate Church of Christ. A memorial service to celebrate the life of Bob will be held on Monday, Oct. 30th at 2:00 PM, Harper Funeral Home. Friends and family are invited to attend and pay their respects.
