Hortensia Ochoa was born on April 13, 1944, to Seasario and Elosia Salas in Ecleto, TX. She married our father, Ferman Ochoa, on September 25, 1968, and were married for 53 years. They had 5 children. Our mother was a loving caring person. She had a contagious smile and was full of life. Her Catholic faith was strong and instilled in us that God was to be first in all things. She loved her husband, children, and grandchildren with all her heart. She had a big heart for her family.
She worked for Ropes ISD for 32 years. So many children’s lives were touched as their paths crossed. Her legacy will continue to live through her family, friends, and all the staff and children she touched at Ropes ISD.
Hortensia is survived by her husband, Ferman Ochoa; children, Danny (Denise) Ochoa, David (Anita Vasquez) Ochoa, Dee Dee Ochoa, Delinda (Hector) Delgado, Damacio Ochoa; 15 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren, and one on the way.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Sesario and Elosia Salas.
