April 6, 1949 – November 1, 2026

Dolores Treviño, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on April 6, 1949, in San Antonio, Texas. Dolores was the loving daughter of Guadalupe and Micaela Bernal. Her life was a beautiful reflection of the love she gave so freely, the kindness she showed, and the countless hearts she touched along the way.

Dolores was married to her husband, John Treviño Sr., for 61 years. Together, they built a family that includes her children Sandra Delacruz (David Valle), Johnny B. Treviño Jr. (Magdalena), Carmen Treviño, Cynthia Vallejo (Rafael), and Blanca Treviño (Michael San Miguel), as well as her stepdaughter Olivia Martinez (Martin). Dolores took pride in her role as a grandmother to Roxanne Barajas (Marcelino), Robert Delacruz Jr. (Lucy Rodriguez), Vanessa Galvan (Kevin), Dolores Delacruz (Kris Ellis), Clarissa DeHoyos (Steve), Marissa Treviño, Johnny Treviño III, Michael San Miguel Jr., Jacob Treviño, Mikayla Vallejo, Joseph San Miguel (Sadie Garcia), Samuel San Miguel, Gabriel San Miguel, and Mercedes San Miguel. Her love and legacy continued to grow through the next generations, as she was blessed with great-grandchildren Rachel Lopez, Marcelino Barajas III (Keely Inmon), Aracely Barajas, Steve DeHoyos Jr., Michael San Miguel III, Joseph San Miguel Jr., and Nathaniel San Miguel, as well as great-great-grandchildren Moses Zamora, and Marcelino Barajas IV.

Dolores is survived by her siblings Juan Bernal (Olga) and Elvia DeLeon; sister-in-law’s Josie Villareal and Connie Martinez; brother-in-law Gilbert Orozco, and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents Micaela and Guadalupe Bernal; mother-in-law Antonia Estrada, father-in-law Antonio Estrada; brother Gustavo Bernal Sr.; brother-in-law’s Victor DeLeon, Juan Gutierrez, Tony Treviño, Tom Treviño, Florencio Martinez, Marcos DeLeon, James Villareal; sister-in-law’s Helen Bernal, Beatrice Hernandez, Amelia Orozco, Katy Gutierrez, and Mary DeLeon.

Dolores met her husband, John, when she was just 13 years old. Three years later, at the age of 16, they married and began a life together that would span 61 years. Throughout their marriage, they shared countless memories, including one of their favorite date nights, going to the Alameda movie theater to enjoy a movie together. This simple tradition remained a cherished part of their life as a couple. Together, they built a family and raised their children, with Dolores leading by example through her hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to her family.

While Dolores was busy at work, her children spent their days with their grandmother, Micaela Bernal. After a long day of work, Dolores would return home and continue her role as a mother, preparing dinner each night and making sure her family was cared for. Her dedication to her children never ended when her workday was over. Even with a busy schedule, Dolores made time for herself and her exercise routines, often wearing sweatsuits that her children would get a good laugh out of.

Dolores completed her formal schooling through the 10th grade before going on to earn her GED and pursue college coursework to further her education and advance her career. She later dedicated more than 40 years of service to the Edgewood Independent School District, where she worked in Child Nutrition, serving students and staff with care and dedication. Her years of service reflected her strong work ethic, determination, and the pride she took in providing for others.

She was a devoted parishioner of St. Dominic Catholic Church, where she found great joy in her faith and community. Her faith was an important part of her life, just as her family was at the center of it. At home, her kitchen became the heart of many family gatherings. She shared her love through cooking and baking. She was especially known for her famous bean and cheese tacos, a favorite among her grandchildren, along with her menudo, tamales, banana bread, carrot cake, and many other memorable dishes. She enjoyed preparing breakfast and special dinners for her family, as well as baking treats for every occasion. Whether gathered around the table for breakfast or dinner, or enjoying little family getaways, Dolores had a special way of bringing everyone together and creating lasting memories filled with love and laughter.

She carried that same joyful spirit into the things she loved most. Dolores loved to dance wherever she went, whether it was in the living room or out enjoying time with her family. It was no secret that her favorite dance was “The Twist,” which often brought everyone together on the dance floor and created even more special memories. She also had a special love for the casinos, where she could relax, leave her worries behind, and enjoy herself without a care in the world. She often made casino trips with her husband, siblings, and their spouses, enjoying not only the excitement of the casinos but, most of all, the time spent together. No matter who accompanied her, she was never quite ready to leave when the night came to an end, always hoping to stay just a little longer. That same playful spirit carried into her time at home, where some of her happiest moments were spent gathered around the table with family, playing LCR and Lotería, sharing laughter, and making memories that would last a lifetime.

Dolores was known for her kindness, generosity, and welcoming heart. Her doors were always open, and there was always room for one more at her table. No one ever needed a special invitation to join a family gathering; everyone was welcome. She had a way of making people feel at home, and her warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Dolores leaves behind more than memories. She leaves behind a lifetime of love, traditions, and lessons that will continue to be carried on by those she cherished. From family gatherings around her table to the laughter shared during everyday moments, the memories she created will forever remain a part of our family's story. Her love will live on through her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, each carrying a piece of her with them. Though she will be deeply missed, her presence will forever be felt in the lives she touched. Her life was a gift to those fortunate enough to share it with her, and her memory will forever remain in our hearts.

The family sincerely thanks the staff at Methodist Hospital and Vitas Healthcare for the exceptional care and compassion shown to our mother.
