Consuelo Vasquez, a beloved matriarch of her family, known for her delicious, beautifully decorated cakes and her famous thumbprint cookies, will be honored and remembered as her life is celebrated.

Born in Crystal City, TX to Pedro and Josefa (Chapa) Almaguer, Consuelo’s life journey was marked by resilience and creativity. In December 1954, Consuelo began a new chapter in her life, marrying Manuel Vasquez and relocating to Lubbock, TX.  After her husband’s death in December 1972, she worked at The Famous Bridal Shop where she used her talents in different aspects of the business including alterations and floral design.  Consuelo’s interest in baking became a passion as she created beautiful cakes for weddings, quinceañeras, and other cultural celebrations. Her thumbprint cookies were also loved by many and became a staple of her baking. As a founding member of San Ramon Catholic Church, she established numerous lifelong friendships within her church community.

A diagnosis of breast cancer in 1999 posed challenging times for Consuelo, yet her strength and resolve carried her through. After more than two decades in remission, she faced a resurgence of the illness in 2022, once again displaying courage in the face of adversity.

Consuelo Vasquez’s legacy lives on through her daughters, Mary Jane (Oscar) Bermea, Martha (David) Salinas, Irma (John) Gatica, and Beatrice Hernandez; her cherished grandchildren, Gabriel (Kei) Bermea, Gianni Salinas, Azian (Samantha) Bermea, Mikel Gatica, Verónica (Luz) Cuevas, Micah (Randy) Calderon, and Tomas Gatica; great-grandchildren, Marcos Cuevas, Adalyn Bermea, Kinley Bermea, Jensen Bermea, Giselle Calderon, Lucas Cuevas, Jude Bermea, and Malia Calderon; and her beloved sister, Anna Maria Ramon.

She is preceded in death by her husband, her parents; a grandson, David Anthony Salinas; and brothers, Eusebio, Guadalupe, and Vicente Almaguer.

As we prepare to bid farewell and celebrate the life of Consuelo Vasquez, we reflect on the immeasurable impact she had on everyone she encountered, leaving behind a legacy of love, artistry, and unwavering faith. May she rest in eternal peace, forever cherished in our hearts.

So sorry for your loss. Your mother was a happy, fun, caring lady. I have many memories of her hugs and laugh. She was a true treasure. I remember making tamales at the church with her.

We absolutely loved Nena! She was always so kind and loving to us. She absolutely made the best cakes and cookies. We will never forget how good they were and feel that her special ingredient was love because she truly loved everyone she knew. She always greeted us with a huge smile and hug.
