Celebrate Diana Almanza's Life Together with Love and Joy

With profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Diana Estella Almanza, aged 65, on June 20, 2024. A beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Diana's departure has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew her.

Born on October 4th, 1958, in Bay City, Texas, and raised in Mercedes, Texas, Diana was the cherished daughter of Elida Hernandez and the late Tony Almanza. She is survived by her devoted children: Philip Speer, aged 47; Anna Edfors, aged 33; and Kirsten Edfors, aged 30. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, Ella and Lucia Speer; her sisters, Rose Hernandez, Blanca Almanza, and Dalia Almanza-Smith; her nephews, Julian and Aaron Hernandez; and her countless friends.

We are humbly asking for a little assistance to create the magical celebration of her life, in the way that she would have wanted it, filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories. Let us come together to honor her spirit, while eating, drinking, dancing, and celebrating the joys of her life. Surrounded by those who knew and loved her best, let us pay tribute to the remarkable woman she was, and ensure her legacy of warmth and happiness continues to shine brightly in our hearts.
