Hilda, daughter of the late Theodore and Ermenia (Garza) De La Garza, was born at home in Sonora, Texas September 8th,1940. She was the 9th out of 13 children. At the tender age of 9, she began helping care for her younger siblings, Gloria, Norma, Linda, Ed, and her niece, Alda (Amaro) Moreno. Her caring for her siblings provided her with a nurturing instinct and an uncommon love for others, which drew others to call her “mom/grandma” as well. She was a giver, and her greatest desire was for her family and friends to know she loved them. She accomplished that by sharing the love, God poured into her heart.
She married Arturo Estrada on June 9th,1956. They were married for 64 years. Arturo passed away in August 2020.
She will be forever remembered and missed by her family: Arturo and Marian (Morgan) Estrada Dripping Springs, Tx, Deborah (Estrada) Sutton Las Vegas, NV, Phillip and Gina (Estrada) Gilligan Wichita, KS, and her grandchildren: Arthur and Melinda Estrada, Matthew and Marfi Sutton, Gabriel and Libby(Rodriguez) Ramos, Jason and Brandi (Estrada) Mosley, Susan Sutton, Phillip and Ashley Gilligan, 18 great-grandchildren, seven great, great-grandchildren, 56 nieces and nephews, and several great nieces & nephews.
