Nora Guerra Tijerina, 76, of Ben Bolt, TX, went home to rest with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, April 5, 2024, in San Antonio, TX. Born in Alice, TX on March 28,1948 to Telesforo Tijerina and Odelia Guerra, Nora attended Ben Bolt High School before moving to San Antonio. There, she worked at Tobin Survey Inc., a mapping company, where she met the love of her life and future husband, Raymond Tijerina, Jr. They were eager to start their adventure together, each moved on to their own careers — Nora to Union Bank and Raymond to H-E-B. Together they built a beautiful family on the South Side of San Antonio, where Nora instilled the value of community in her sons, Raymond and Eloy. As a devoted Christian, Nora also touched many lives as the Sunday School teacher at Templo Bethesda. Steadfast and true, Nora was dedicated to her family, to her faith and, of course, to her favorite sports teams, the Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs. Her love for her family transcended generations and knew no bounds. She was the embodiment of gratitude, contentment and generosity – a constant source of inspiration to her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews … and the reason her boys are also life-long Spurs fans. Nora is preceded in death by her parents, Telesforo and Odelia Guerra, her siblings Dalia and Valentin, and her husband, Raymond Tijerina Jr.; She is survived by her siblings, Gloria, Lina, Ida, Alma and Gilbert; her sons, Raymond and wife Delia, and Eloy and wife Connie, and her grandchildren whom she adored, Zoe, Iris, Cruz, Charlie and Layla. We would like to express a special thank you to Anna Guerra; thank you for everything you’ve done for Nora and for our family. Nora was a beloved wife, mother and grandmother and will be deeply missed by everyone. Donations to any organization fighting for quality health care in rural communities, education or advocating for diabetes and cancer research will be greatly appreciated as those are the issues Nora was most passionate about. Join us to celebrate Nora’s life at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South. Visitation will take place from 5:00pm to 8:00pm Tuesday, April 16, with a prayer service starting at 7:00pm. A Celebration of Life will take place on April 17, 2024, at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South at 1 pm. Interment is to follow at Mission Burial Park South.
