Reynaldo Rios Obituary

Age - 71

October 7, 2023

San Benito, TX

Reynaldo Rios, 71, passed away October 2, 2023. Reynaldo was the fourth of twelve children to Ramiro and Lidia Rios in San Juan, TX on August 5, 1952. He grew up a part of a migrant family working in the fields in places like Delaware. As time passed by and as he began his own family with his wife Elida Benavides Rios, he became a skilled auto-mechanic, then an AutoZone Parts Sales Manager, to a retired baker, gardener, and whatever else allowed him to keep active. Wherever you would find Reynaldo, one thing for certain was that there was at least one person that knew him. He was known for making friends with everyone he met and no matter how much time passed, he'd continue to treat you with the same enthusiasm, friendship, and respect. In every situation, you could always find Reynaldo doing what he does best and that was to bring joy and laughter to the moment. No moment was ever so serious that he couldn't lighten the mood. He even managed to make one of his doctor's break character and smile for the first to the amazement of the doctor's staff. Bringing joy was the way in which he showed how much he cared for everyone. In his retirement days, he developed a skill of baking polvorones and dishpan cookies that were unmatched. You can try to follow his recipe, but there was this beautiful gift that God gave him that is hard to reproduce. Many would tell him to sell the cookies, but his heart was too generous. He would make sure that you left visiting him with bags full of cookies at no charge. He treasured the friendships he had with his family and friends and wanted everyone to know que queria mucho a todos. The source of joy within him came from his faith and trust in the Lord. That we could carry on, moving forward knowing that God would see us through every fight, every struggle until He calls us back to Him. And now the Lord's grace and mercy leaves us with the wonderful memories and moments that He allowed Reynaldo to share and brighten up for us. We can rejoice knowing that he is at peace with the Lord and is with his family that have gone before us. He is preceded in death by his parents, Ramiro & Lidia Rios; brothers, Guadalupe Rios, Jose Luis Rios, Arturo Rios, Rene Rios; sons, Reynaldo Rios, Jr. , and Raphael Rios; and grandson, Daniel Rios. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, Elida B. Rios; children, Marisa A. and Mauricio Chavez, Richard Rios, and Samantha Cotty; siblings, Ramiro Rios Jr. , Susana & Juan Salinas, Rodolfo & Joyce Rios, Rosalinda Smith, Anna Maria & Keith Whitney, Ricardo & Cathy Rios, Odelia Rios; 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, from 3:00 p. m. to 9:00 p. m. with a Prayer Service at 7:00 p. m. at Thomae-Garza Funeral Home.

Lenora Schneider

Age - 85

December 5, 2023

On November 29, 2023 Lenora Sue Schneider gained her wings and went to shop with the angels in Heaven. She was 85 years old. Born in Fair Oaks, Arkansas on September 20, 1938 to Howard and Hazel Dixon, Lenora would often say she was born in Arkansas but considered herself a Texan as she moved to Texas at just 5 weeks old. Lenora grew up in Port Isabel, Texas with her 3 brothers, Carlton, Wayne and Denny and 1 sister, Gloria. She would often tell us her favorite job growing up was as a soda "jerk". She loved waiting on the customers at the drugstore offering them their favorite milk shake and kind of liked the attention she received from the boys! She played for the girl's basketball team while attending Port Isabel High and loved every bit of it. After marrying and raising her children, she worked as gift shop cashier for a brief time and then helped waitress at her son and daughter in law's restaurant until her health issues prevented that. When Lenora's children were young, the phrase "stay at home Mom" didn't exist. It was usual for women to stay at home while their husbands worked and Lenora did just that. She was an exceptional wife and mother. She cared deeply for her family and friends not out of obligation, but because of who she was. Lenora was a compassionate spirit whose passion was to help others. She was an active member of St. John Lutheran church and was also a member of the Ladies Aid. She volunteered for many church socials, PTA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, you name it, she was there. She never hesitated to share the love that came so freely. Lenora dreamed of getting married and having children and that dream came true when she married the love of her life, Edwin (Eddie) Schneider on June 17, 1955 after dating for only 3 months. She was the mother of 8 children, Debbie Dillard (Earl), Karen Holbrook (Hank), Jakob Schneider (Lonnie), Brenda Cook (Loren), Vicky Sanchez (Henry), Cindy Stevens (Corey), Bruce Schneider (Eydie), Jennifer Burrier (Ronnie). Despite her large family Lenora always made time for everyone. She always provided support and love for her family while working side by side with Eddie to provide opportunities for their children. Sometimes it seemed as though they both lived vicariously through their children. Always pushing them to try new ventures and opportunities that neither of them had as children. They both were their children's biggest cheerleaders. Lenora loved shopping ALOT, crafting, playing board games, cake decorating and watching her beloved San Antoino Spurs and Houston Astros. But her greatest love was holding babies. And she did that often with 19 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren. Lenora and Eddie loved to travel but when Lenora was diagnosed with Parkinsons her long distance traveling was limited but it didn't keep her from local travel to Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby. She would hear the word shopping and loaded up! Weather was never a hinderance. Lenora is preceded in death by her husband Eddie and son Jakob. Special thanks to her caregivers, the staff at Victoria Comfort Homes and also to Elara Hospice. Visitation will be December 8, 2023 from 4:00 p. m. to 7:00 p. m. at Buck Ashcraft San Benito Funeral Home. Funeral Service will take place on December 9, 2023 at 10:00 a. m. at St. John Lutheran Church with burial following at Mont Meta Memorial Park. Honored to serve as pallbearers are her grandsons, James Dillard, Joshua Freeman, Jacob Freeman, Ryan Holbrook, Derek Holbrook, Cullen Holbrook, Jonathan Padilla, Matthew Sanchez, Nicholas Sanchez, Christopher Schneider, and Taylor Schneider. in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to St Jude's, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or Culture of Life Ministries , 205 S 4th Street, Harlingen TX 78550.
