DIANA EMMA VILLARREAL

July 28, 1951 – January 19, 2018

Diana Emma Villarreal went on to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, January 19, 2018. She was a woman of Great Faith. A True Warrior of prayer.

Her delight was to be in the house of God and her heart’s desire was to see all of her family living for the Lord. She was a living testimony of the Miraculous Hand of God and lived to tell every Soul she possibly could about The Power of God. She taught her children to Trust in the Lord at all times. Her influence in the classrooms of Octavio Salinas Elementary reached and touched many lives. She was loved by all of her co-workers and by everyone who was blessed to have met her. She was an influential pillar and elder of the faith at The Pentecostal of Laredo Church. Her Church family loved her dearly. Her grandchildren were the joy of her heart and she lived to see their smiles. Her husband of 47 years, Joe, was the Love of her life. Together they had five children and eleven grandchildren. Her legacy is complete and will live on through the lives of those she touched. An angel on Earth is now rejoicing with Jesus in heaven.
