Maria Alderete
Caballero
March 25, 1935 – September 15, 2021
Maria Alderete Caballero was born March 25, 1935, in Hondo, Texas to Arturo Alderete and Refugia Reyes, went to be with our Lord on September 15, 2021.
She is preceded in death by her husband, retired army SFC Bruno Caballero, her sisters, Ofelia Rodriguez and Oralia Alderte, and her brothers, Juan Alderete and Guadalupe Alderete.
Maria leaves behind her beloved children, Daniel Hernandez, Viola Zaragosa, Elizabeth Hernandez, and Rose Mary Tristan, in addition to her 10 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, 3 great great-grandchildren, daughter in law, Lupe Hernandez, and son in laws Juan Hernandez and Hector Garcia.
Maria loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Being a wife, mother, and grandmother was her favorite career, but she found time to work with the Edgewood school district. Playing slot machines at casinos, having dinner and drinks, or dancing and listening to Vicente Fernandez were all some of the things you could find her enjoying most. She is deeply loved and brought immense joy to all those around her. We loved her sense of humor and her caring ways. Maria will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.
Words cannot express the feeling in our hearts. Thank you for your prayers and support during this difficult time. Your shared memories, comforting condolences and gestures of love are truly appreciated.
