Obituary of Maria Modesta Velasco

MARIA MODESTA VELASCO Edinburg – Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return onto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 On April 4th, 2020, Maria Modesta Velasco entered eternal rest in the Kingdom of God. Her final wish was realized by having her family at her side as she departed this life. Maria was born on February 24, 1941 to Abundio Savedra and Guadalupe Valadez Savedra of Donna, Texas. She was the youngest of her siblings. She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, Leo and Ruth Savedra, her son, Pedro P. Velasco, and her grandson, Joshua Seger. Everyone who knew Maria would say she loved life and trusted in Jesus as her Saviour. She loved listening to the Word of God, and in her latter years, she loved listening to music, watching funny movies, playing loteria, and looking forward to her daily snacks. She always looked forward to holidays so she could spend time with her entire family. Her biggest love, above all, were all her children. Maria is survived by her brother, Jose Savedra; her children, Maria G. Velasco, Sally Seger, and Jesus Velasco; her grandchildren, Karina Treviño Olivarez, Samuel Seger, Caleb Seger, Victoria Seger, Pete Velasco, Monique Velasco, Janelle Velasco, Isaac Gonzalez, Yukari Velasco, Brandon Velasco, Briana Velasco, her great-grandchildren, an aunt, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. A funeral mass will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Saturday July 11, 2020 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Mission Texas. Services were under the direction of Legacy Funeral Home of Edinburg.
