Obituary for Otila G. Pena
DELMITA – Otila G. Pena, 95, passed away Monday, February 13, 2017, at Amara Hospice in Edinburg.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Eugenio Pena, Jr.; a son, Alfredo Pena; and a grandson, Robert Pena, Jr.
Otila was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend to many. She lived a simple life, was humble and a very faithful servant to our Lord, she served with a heart of gold. Her love for her family was unconditional. Otila was a woman of character, integrity, kindness, honesty and very loyal to her loving husband. She became vivacious when she heard country music on the radio, especially songs by George Strait. Otila loved her beautiful garden that she attended to every day, and her cats were always close by her side. Her favorite bird was the red cardinal, and on occasion, when a cardinal visited her garden, she felt it was her husband from heaven coming to see her.
Mrs. Otila G. Pena is survived by four sons, Eugenio (Delta) Pena, III. Of Houston, Jesus (Lolly) Pena of Edinburg, Robert (Minnie) Pena of Delmita, Rick (Naomi) Pena of Pasadena; six daughters, Rosa L. Moreno of Houston, Yolanda (Nasim) Malik of Richmond, Diana (Johnny) Maldonado Wilson, Sylvia (Larry) Cinco, both of Houston, Gracie (Joe) Falcon of Pearland, Cynthia (Mark) Haubert of Tomball; 22 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; a great-great-grandson; and a daughter-in-law, Elma R. Pena of Houston.
