EULOGIA “LODIE” CERVANTES

1926-2021

Eulogia Alderete Cervantes passed from this life on to her reward on Monday, September 6, 2021. “Lolla,” or “Lodie,” as her family and friends called her, was born in Missouri City, Texas on March 11, 1926. She was the last remaining child of Francisco Alderete and Concepcion Figueroa Alderete. As a child she moved to Houston where she went to school, married, and raised her children. She graduated from Jeff Davis High School and was married to David Cervantes. Although Eulogia was a member of Juan Marcus Presbyterian Church once she moved to the Clear Lake area she attended Clear Lake Methodist Church. She was devoted to God, her family, and church.

She was preceded in death by her parents and sisters

Manuela Coronado, Eduwigis Coronado, and brothers Santos, Eustacio, and Porfirio Alderete. She was also preceded in death by daughter Judy Aviles and granddaughter Victoria Cervantes. She is survived by her: Husband David Cervantes; daughter Jean Cervantes and wife Mara; son David Eric Cervantes and wife Cassie of Crockett; grandson Mario Anthony Aviles, and wife Amanda; grandson David James Cervantes, and wife Kaitlyn; and grandson Eric “Teddy” Cervantes, and granddaughter Julianna Cervantes.

Lodie made many friends in the Clear Lake area through her participation with the Gathering Place, sponsored by CarePartners, which works with faith based organizations. She always had a smile on her face and was “game on” for any of the planned activities.

There are too many people to name who helped in the last few weeks of Lodie’s illness, especially Madolyn M. and Laura N. The family extends profound thanks to these ladies and to the many, many people who offered prayers and support. The family also wishes to thank the hospice team at Compassus.

A viewing will be held at Heights Funeral Home, 1317 Heights Blvd. on September 16th at 10 am with services lead by Dr. Paul Clines of Clear Lake Methodist Church at 11am. Following the services there will be a procession to Forest Park Cemetery Lawndale with burial scheduled for 1pm.
