Ms. Toribia Reyna, age 76, of San Marcos, Texas, has passed away peacefully while residing at Cypress Hill Nursing Home on August 30, 2020 at 7:00 pm, with her daughters by her side. Due to the pandemic, it was several months no one could enter the nursing home to visit, causing the process to go faster. Thankfully, her daughter Patsy works at the nursing home and provided loving visits. She battled several ailments and the onset of dementia that brought her back and forth to remember us, but even so she knew in her heart how much we love her! Toribia is survived by her daughters, Angie Longoria, Julie Arocho Rodriguez (Albert), and Patsy Reyna (Estella); grandchildren, Robert Longoria, Jackie Crayton, Katrina Arocho-Gutierrez, Isaac Rodriguez, Abigail Rodriguez, Brianna Rodriguez, Carissa Rodriguez, Dennis Crayton Jr, Niomi Crayton, Keyshia Crayton, Brittany Crayton; and seven great-grandchildren; brothers, Santiago Reyna, David Reyna, and Valentin Reyna (Mary), and her brother’s children. Toribia left us to join her parents, Antonio and Maria Reyna, brothers Martin Reyna, Johnny Reyna, Joe Reyna, and Ester Reyna; great-grandchild, Isaiah Mondragon, in heavenly paradise. She loved to get along with everyone and she loved caring for her flowers and plants. She loved talking to her children, playing bingo, watching her wrestling shows, and spending time with her family and close relatives. We will never forget the many beautiful smiles and hugs and will carry on her memories forever and ever until we meet again. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, there will not be a service. Condolences may be sent to the family online at Legends funeral home, San Marcos, Texas.
