Leonor M. Luera, 83, of San Marcos, Texas entered the gates of heaven peacefully on Sunday, October 3, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on April 19, 1938, in Martindale, Texas to Felix and Bernalda Mendoza.
On January 7, 1956, she married Joe T. Luera at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Martindale. Leonor agreed with Joe’s marriage proposal on one condition: that he would buy her a monkey. She never received that monkey, but in exchange Joe and Leonor were blessed with 11 beautiful children.
Family was very important to Leonor. She leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories. She loved opening her home to family gatherings and went to great lengths to ensure that all were fed and provided a gift at each visit. Each time she expressed the amount of love she had for you, she described it as, “I love you to the top of the house.”
