Elidia was born in La Piedad, Mexico on October 26, 1952. She was a devoted homemaker whose life was defined by her boundless generosity, unwavering devotion, and the gentle strength with which she cared for everyone around her. To her family, she was not just a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, or aunt—she was the heart of the home, the source of warmth and comfort that held everyone together.

Elidia found joy in the simple, beautiful rhythms of everyday life. She delighted in cooking, and nothing made her happier than gathering her loved ones around a table full of food she had lovingly prepared. She had a special gift for making sure everyone was well fed, cared for, and welcomed—no one ever left her home hungry or untouched by her kindness.

Elidia’s nurturing disposition did not stop with family. Whether she was caring for her flowers or feeding the chickens in the early morning light, Elidia carried a quiet grace that made ordinary moments feel sacred.

Music was one of her greatest pleasures. She loved to sing, and she loved to dance—often doing both at once with a joy that was infectious. Her voice, her rhythm, and her laughter created memories her family will cherish forever.

Above all, Elidia lived for her loved ones. Her greatest happiness came from caring for her family, supporting them, and watching them flourish. Her love was patient, constant, and immeasurably deep.

Elidia leaves behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and joy in life’s simple gifts. Those who were fortunate enough to know her will remember her as a woman whose heart was always open and whose presence made the world a softer, brighter place. She will be dearly missed and forever loved.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband, David; her seven children: Enrique (Ana) Gomez Acevedo, Mari (Roberto) Gomez Garza, Angelica (Delfino) Chavez, David (Gloria) Gomez, Julie (Landon) Deeter, Jose E. (Lucero) Gomez Acevedo, and Patricia (Jorge) Gomez Acevedo; 29 grandchildren: Luis, Beatrice, Fabiola, Fabian, Karina, Jackie, Areli, Gilberto, Roberto, Eduardo, Jaquelin, Kade, Jesus, Xavier, Ximena, Joel, Lidia, Joseline, Brianna, Anthony, Angel, Elijah, Giahna, Stephen, Jaylah, Juliahn, Christopher, Isabella and Thiago; three great-grandchildren: Neveah, Saul and Delilah; 11 siblings and numerous nieces and nephews.

In eternal life, Elidia is reunited with her parents and her brother, Vicente Acevedo.

Elidia nació en La Piedad, México, el 26 de octubre de 1952. Era una ama de casa dedicada cuya vida estaba marcada por su generosidad sin límites, su devoción inquebrantable y la suave fortaleza con la que cuidaba a todos a su alrededor. Para su familia, no era solo esposa, madre, abuela, hermana o tía: era el corazón del hogar, la fuente de calidez y consuelo que mantenía a todos unidos.

Elidia encontraba alegría en los ritmos sencillos y hermosos de la vida cotidiana. Le encantaba cocinar, y nada la hacía más feliz que reunir a sus seres queridos alrededor de una mesa llena de comida que había preparado con amor. Tenía un don especial para asegurarse de que todos estuvieran bien alimentados, cuidados y bienvenidos: nadie salía de su casa hambriento ni sin sentir su bondad.

La disposición cariñosa de Elidia no se limitaba a la familia. Ya sea cuidando sus flores o alimentando a las gallinas a la luz del amanecer, Elidia irradiaba una gracia tranquila que hacía que los momentos ordinarios se sintieran sagrados.

La música era uno de sus mayores placeres. Le encantaba cantar y bailar, a menudo haciendo ambas cosas al mismo tiempo con una alegría contagiosa. Su voz, su ritmo y su risa creaban recuerdos que su familia atesorará para siempre.

Por encima de todo, Elidia vivía por sus seres queridos. Su mayor felicidad provenía de cuidar a su familia, apoyarlos y verlos florecer. Su amor era paciente, constante e inmensamente profundo.

Elidia deja un legado de bondad, devoción y alegría en los simples regalos de la vida. Aquellos que tuvieron la fortuna de conocerla la recordarán como una mujer cuyo corazón siempre estuvo abierto y cuya presencia hacía del mundo un lugar más amable y luminoso. Será profundamente extrañada y amada por siempre.

Entre los que quedan para recordar su memoria se encuentran su esposo, David; sus siete hijos: Enrique (Ana) Gomez Acevedo, Mari (Roberto) Gomez Garza, Angélica (Delfino) Chávez, David (Gloria) Gomez, Julie (Landon) Deeter, José E. (Lucero) Gomez Acevedo, y Patricia (Jorge) Gomez Acevedo; 28 nietos: Luis, Beatriz, Fabiola, Fabián, Karina, Jackie, Areli, Gilberto, Roberto, Eduardo, Jaquelin, Kade, Jesús, Xavier, Ximena, Joel, Lidia, Joseline, Brianna, Anthony, Ángel, Elías, Giahna, Stephen, Jaylah, Juliahn, Christopher, Isabella y Thiago; tres bisnietos: Neveah, Saúl y Dalila; 11 hermanos y numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas.

En la vida eterna, Elidia se reúne con sus padres y con su hermano, Vicente Acevedo.
