OBITUARY
Lucila Fuentes Dominguez, 103, of San Angelo formerly of Marfa went to be with the Lord on Saturday, February 21, 2026, in San Angelo.
Lucila was born on September 27, 1922, in Shafter, TX to Mariano Fuentes and Gregoria Ramirez Fuentes. She married Manuel Dominguez on May 28, 1940, and they shared 52 beautiful years together and raised three children, before he preceded her in death in 1992.
Lucille was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and devoted homemaker. Living in Marfa, all her life, she stayed close to her family and was known as the family caregiver. She was always there to help her brothers and sisters and was always there to help all her friends and neighbors as well. Lucila had a knack for caring for others and lending a helping hand when someone was in need.
In her spare time, she loved embroidering, crocheting, quilting and gardening. Her favorite thing to do was make everyone in her family Christmas stockings and embroider pillowcases and aprons. Every generation of her family cherishes those items.
Lucila was a very proper, but “sassy” lady. She was always meticulously dressed and made sure everything was pressed to perfection. Her sense of humor came naturally, and she loved to tell jokes with her family. Family gatherings were an especially fun time to joke and enjoy her cokes and chocolate and desserts of any kind. Her nieces and nephews always considered her the “favorite” Aunt.
Lucila was a tremendous woman with a heart of gold, and she loved her family with a passion beyond measure. Her life and great love of family will remain in our hearts forever and we will dearly miss her!
Lucila was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Manuel and two sons, Albert Dominguez and Manuel Dominguez, Jr., four brothers and nine sisters, and numerous other family members and close friends. She is survived by her daughter Dola D. Rodriguez and her husband Manny, of San Angelo; her grandchildren, Orlando Cabezuela and his wife Mary, of San Angelo, Johanna Nunez and her husband Danny, of San Angelo, Dinah Arcides and her husband Jerry, of San Angelo, Aurora Hernandez and her husband Tony, of Marfa and Albert Dominguez and his wife Lyra, of Marfa; ten great grandchildren; fifteen great, great, grandchildren; one great, great, great, grandchild, and numerous nieces and nephews.
