Lupita Maria (Rael) Montaño

Lupita M, Montaño, age 77, a resident of Adelino, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2025 of an unexpected illness,

She was born in Adelino and came from a large family. Lupita married at the young age of 15. She was a homemaker who did her best to take care of her five children. There wasn't any kind of house work in or out that she couldn't do. Her passion was working outdoors where she loved to irrigate her many tall beautiful evergreens that she planted. She deeply missed her two sons that passed away before her.

She was a long time member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Tome. She was very close to her daughter Lorraine where they shared a very close bond, not only as mother and daughter, but as best friends.

The family wishes a very special thank you to the Inhora house, where she was cared for with so much love, dignity and respect from the most kind and generous people.
Also, to Dr. Louise McDade from Presbyterian and also to Jay her nurse and staff at Bosque Trails hospice.
