Mary Helena Muro

Mary Helen Muro passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at the age of 83. She was born in San Antonio, Texas on September 28, 1938. Mary Helen's strength of character, deep love of family and friends, great spirituality and unwavering faith made her an inspiring woman of power and grace.
Mary Helen's formal education was limited due to her loving and caring sacrifice to take care of her grandmother, mother, brother and sister but she never stopped reading and learning. Her mind never diminished and she was as sharp as anyone around her.
As the matriarch of a large family, she kept track of everyone's lives, and even those of her friends. She had a youthful spirit, she was fun, and always ready to try something new. She loved music and the occasional Novela .
When the younger generation started moving away, she learned how to use Facebook , Messenger phone calls and FaceTime and play games on her her iPad. Her phone never stopped ringing and she had a revolving door of family and friends, many of whom looked to her for guidance and counsel.
Mary Helen was a believer in God and the power of prayer. She felt connected to nature and found peace in its quiet beauty. She lived with her mind wide open, and felt what others couldn't see. She lived life to its fullest. On last year's Birthday she enjoyed her drive - by Birthday Celebration because she saw all her beloved children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends. She had a powerful inner strength and in her final days remained a
woman of quiet grace-- thankful for her care and always grateful to God.
Mary Helen was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband Roberto Muro, her mother Francisca Rodriguez and brother Paul Rivera. She is survived by sister Maria De Jesus Rivera, Her beloved children - son Jesse Muro and wife Melissa, daughters Diana Zuniga, and Sylvia Muro. She had 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Although she will be missed beyond words, we are so very thankful for the many years we were blessed with her presence. She will live in our hearts forever.
