Amelia G. "Nana" Guajardo

Amelia G. Guajardo, 65, of San Angelo went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, January 26, 2017 in San Angelo surrounded by her loving family. It is with heavy hearts we want to CELEBRATE in saying that our precious Nana WON her battle. We say WON because 26yrs ago on January 26th, her best friend, the father of her children, also went to be with the Lord on this very day, so we know he came for her, for them to be together again. We had the privilege to be told by her, that where she was headed, it was a beautiful place and we know she's dancing pain and cancer FREE now with the love of her earthly life, there with her also holding hands and "chasing each other around the room". Nana was born June 27, 1951 in Rio Bravo, Mexico. She grew up in a large, close family and at the young age of 14 married the love of her life, Louis G. Guajardo. They were able to share 25 beautiful years together and raise 4 children before his passing in 1991. Her children are who she lived for. She lived her life doing all she could for them. She may not have ALWAYS been able to express her feelings all the time, but she did so in the best way she knew how to, which was by feeding us her delicious food and teaching us how to cook it. Everyone knew Nana's house had yummy food and she'd ALWAYS offer what she had. Her legacy of her undying strength will forever live in her children, who fought and stood by her up until the end. Even in her final days, she was focused on them, her children, making sure to tell them to take care of themselves and each other and even then, through all the seriousness, she still managed to make us laugh with her facial expressions. She was a rock for us, teaching us all how to NEVER give up. And she didn't!! She WON this battle and WON the ultimate prize of being with our LORD Jesus Christ. She fought until the very end and for that strength we will always be grateful for because she showed us all how to do the same. Nana is survived by her children, Louis Guajardo, III, Juanita A. Guajardo, Jose A. Guajardo, and Teresita Aguilar, and her common law husband Eliseo Rodriguez, all of San Angelo; numerous Grandchildren; her Brother, Guadalupe Mojica Gomez, of San Angelo and seven other brothers and sisters who remain in Mexico. The family will receive friends from 5:00 P.M. – 7:00 P.M. Sunday, January 29, 2017 at Harper Funeral Home. A Celebration of her life will be 4:00 P.M., Monday, January 30, 2017 at Iglesia Metodista Unida Betel, 115 West Avenue O, in San Angelo. A private family burial will be held at a later time. We'd like to THANK our family and friends for all the showing of love, with all the texts, phone calls, messages, prayers, sincere condolences, and showing up at Nana's to give us a hug for strength. We will cherish her life and her legacy of love in our hearts forever!
