Hope liked music and dancing her whole life. She liked to laugh and made friends easily. She was very independent, living in Gainesville, Florida most of her adult life where she had many lifelong friends and was famous for her New Year’s Eve parties. She loved to tease family and make them laugh when we got together for the holidays and other occasions. She was beautiful but she was also smart, having worked as a medical editor for most of her life. She edited several anesthesiology medical books over the course of her career. She was very close to her family, especially her oldest niece, Esmeralda whom she used to visit in Atlanta. She grew exceptionally close to her niece Yvette, who became her daily caretaker in 2020. Hope was so happy to come home to San Antonio after so many years in Florida. She drew the family closer together. Hope will be deeply missed and never forgotten by our family and all her friends. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a prayer service to be celebrated at 6:30 p.m. at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South.
