Carmen E. Gonzalez

Carmen E. Gonzalez, age 98, went home to be with the Lord on November 12, 2022.
She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family.

Carmen was born on March 18, 1924 in Hutto, Texas to Magdaleno and Ella (Gonzalez)
Euresti. She grew up with three brothers and six sisters. As a child, she attended
school in a one room schoolhouse, and was a faithful daughter that helped to raise her
siblings. On January 15, 1949 she married the love of her life Candelario Gonzalez.
She and her beloved husband began their life traveling the United States for work.
Carmen was a woman of great strength and beauty working alongside her husband. In
the late 50’s they settled in Taylor, Texas to raise their children. Carmen worked for
many years at the University of Texas and later retired close to home at Intercraft.

Carmen was a woman of strong Christian faith. She enjoyed reading her Bible,
watching Christian television, and listening to Spanish Christian songs. Carmen loved
attending church until her health no longer permitted her. She will also be remembered
for her passion of crocheting for her children and grandchildren and cooking for her
family.
