Maria G. Torres

Elsa - Maria Margarita Gonzalez Torres (Morena) 92; It is with deep sadness that Morena's family announce her passing on May 5, 2025. Our beloved mother passed away peacefully at home. She was born on February 10, 1933, and was an Elsa resident most of her life. She raised a family of three and worked outside of home in the packing and sewing industry for many years. Morena was very excited when she opened and managed a flower and thrift shop in downtown Elsa in 2004.

She loved working with people and making lots of sales. After she retired from sales, she attended a local adult day care center where she enjoyed the company of old and new friends. Morena is resting in peace now and in the presence of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Morena is preceded in death by her parents, Marcelino and Guadalupe Gonzalez; her siblings: Guadalupe G. Guillen, Porfirio Gonzalez, Jose Gonzalez, Marcelino Gonzalez Jr., Maria Angela G. Vasquez, Alonzo Gonzalez, Virginia G. Lopez, and Emma G. Castellanos.
