Aurora Lopez Luna

Aurora Luna, 92, of Edinburg, Texas went to her heavenly home, surrounded by her loving family on October 6, 2021. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Aurora was born to the late Manuel Lopez and Genoveva Lozano-Lopez on February 12, 1929 in East Chicago, Indiana.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Francisco Luna Sr.; and four siblings, Martha Flores, Manuel Lopez, Jesus Lopez, and Bertha Garcia.
Aurora is survived by her five children, Francisco "Frank" (Anna) Luna Jr. and Genevieve (†Joseph) Mendoza of Mission, Eduardo "Eddie" (Irene) Luna of McAllen, Bertha Sylvia "Birdy" (Tony) Vela of Mission, and Sylvia Trejo-Arteaga (Jimmy) of Edinburg; 14 grandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren.
Her life was a living and shining example of a Proverbs 31 woman. Aurora was an excellent wife and mother. She was a woman who clothed herself with strength and honor, and the law of kindness was always on her tongue. She was industrious and hardworking and never spent her time eating the bread of idleness. Aurora was an amazing cook, who at the age of 90 was still hosting Christmas at her home, and preparing her family a large pot of her famous pozole. Even at 92 she was busy crocheting blankets for all of her family. Aurora Luna was a woman of amazing grace.
