Clemencia Aguirre Lopez of San Angelo, Texas, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the age of 98. Born on December 18, 1926, in Melvin, Texas, she was one of 14 siblings and grew up immersed in family, faith, and a steadfast work ethic that shaped her life.

Throughout her years, Clemencia embraced many roles with grace and determination—from migrant laborer and cook to caregiver for the elderly, a calling she continued until the age of 70. Among her most cherished jobs was serving as an elevator operator at the historic Cactus Hotel in San Angelo. A devout Catholic, she was a proud member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, where she most recently served in the funeral ministry.

During her time as a migrant worker in the Texas Panhandle, her children fondly recall her rising before dawn to prepare breakfast and lunch for long days in the cotton fields. Cold fried chicken, eaten under the hot sun, became a symbol of her love, sacrifice, and enduring strength—its taste still evokes treasured memories.

Clemencia was preceded in death by her husband, Ciriaco Lopez; her parents, Julian Aguirre and Paula Ahuera; brothers Frank, Marcelino, "Chente," Trinida Sr., and Joe; sisters Angelita "Nene," Concha, Evangelina "Eva," and Eloisa; and her beloved grandsons, Trey Peña and Daniel Peña.

She is survived by her eight children: Cathy Gonzales; Guadalupe & Patsy Gonzalez; Rubén & Imelda Gonzales; Ciriaco & Sandra Lopez Jr.; Paul & Victoria Lopez; Deacon Mike & Martha Lopez; Joey & Alina Lopez; and Galdino & Janie Peña. She is also survived by her brother Julian and sisters Pauline "Paula," Maryann, and Susie. Clemencia leaves behind a legacy of love through her 24 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren—with two more on the way.

Clemencia was the heart of her family—strong, spirited, and deeply devoted. She continued driving herself around town until the age of 95, always present for birthdays, weddings, graduations, sporting events, and every special occasion. She adored her shows—cheering on her beloved Texas Rangers, watching her novelas with passion, and never missing an episode of Survivor, which she followed faithfully as a devoted fan. She also loved playing Skip-Bo, and she took no prisoners—her competitive streak was legendary, and every game was played with fierce joy and laughter.

Her faith was a guiding light throughout her life; she lived through nine Popes and was blessed to see Pope John Paul II during his visit to San Antonio.

On the day of her passing, a gentle rain shower and a rainbow graced the sky—a beautiful sign witnessed by her family, reminding them of the grace and peace that surrounded her final moments.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to Hospice of San Angelo for their compassionate care during Clemencia’s final days. Special thanks go to Elsa, whose kindness and dedication went above and beyond.

A Rosary will be held on Thursday, September 25, at 6:00 PM at Johnson’s Funeral Home. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, September 26, at 10:30 AM at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in San Angelo, Texas.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Linda Leath Chaney, 78, passed away Friday, August 22, 2025, in San Angelo.

Memorial service will be 10:30 AM Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel. This will be a time to say goodbye and a time to honor Linda and say "Thank you" for being a part of our lives. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Her family's tribute:

Linda represented the best of us. She, like others before her, was destined to walk the proverbial highway of diamonds. It was her desire to be a purveyor of truth, knowledge, integrity, and most importantly, the mysteries of the written word!

Linda was a good person who quietly worked for years on the front line doing good deeds, especially for the children, hoping to make a difference in their lives. She was always trying to help others achieve a bit of sanity in a sometimes chaotic and cruel world.

So thank you, Linda. And just maybe through the paradox of time and space, we will likely see you again.

Tracy Lea Mallin, 46, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2025.

No services are scheduled at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Ms. Mallin was born on April 17, 1979, in Phoenix, Arizona. She grew up in the Phoenix area and graduated from Westwood High School in Mesa, Arizona. Tracy was a waitress and a volunteer at Shannon Medical Center.

She enjoyed puzzles, making loop rugs, drawing, coloring, and loved scary movies. Some of her favorite things were elephants, playing fantasy football and cheering on her Pittsburg Steelers. Tracy loved to talk and shared her smile with everyone. She never allowed her disability to get her down. She was friendly and loving to all those she met.

She is survived by her mother, Karen Rose of San Angelo; a brother, Drew and wife Nancy Mallin and children, a Niece, Zoey Mallin; and an Aunt, Mary Rose.

Though Tracy is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. May we find comfort in the memories shared, the lessons she taught, and the love she gave so freely.

Melanie Jan (Henson) Sherman, 60, passed peacefully on September 16, 2025, at her home in San Angelo, Texas. She spent her final days as she spent the entirety of her life, surrounded and embraced by her loved ones. 

Jan was a proud native Texan born in Welch, Texas, on October 14, 1964. She attended Dawson High School in Welch, where she was a 4-year cheerleader. Shortly after graduating, she met her future husband, Patrick Sherman of San Angelo, and they fell in love. Patrick and Jan married in 1985 and recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. They became the parents of Taylor Sherman in 1989 and Hollye Sherman in 1992. 

Throughout her life, Jan had a passion for helping others. She became a Registered Psychiatric Nurse at an early age and helped treat and rehabilitate thousands of patients in West Texas during her decorated career. 

Jan possessed a gorgeous soul, a beautiful smile, a quick wit, and a personality that was as tough as it was gentle. She was a gifted listener with a wonderful sense of humor. Those who knew her best will always remember the meaningful conversations they had, the smiles, laughs and great times with all those she loved. 

That’s when Jan was happiest—in the company of her friends and family, as she so often was. You could also find her at peace reading a book by the campfire, solving an advanced-level jigsaw puzzle, sharing a funny anecdote with a crowd, or listening to smooth rock and roll by the popular Sherman pool house.
