Family was important to Elene and her many friends whom she kept constant calendars to remind her of birthdays and anniversaries so she could mail out cards to everyone wishing them loving and thoughtful wishes.

Elene graduated high school in Carrizo Springs in 1941 and attended A&I University in Kingsville. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Carrizo springs and then St. John’s Methodist Church, Corpus Christi.

Many folks will remember Elene working at the old Texas Theatre in Carrizo or the Farm and Ranch store where she stocked every imaginable householditem on her side of the store or working at the Union State Bank. She played tennis and basketball in high school and was on a bowling league in Uvalde. Special love and appreciation to Janie Rubio and Jennifer Morales for all the love, patience and care they gave Elene during her transition from this earth. You both are earthly angels that we love and admire.
