In the warm, sun-soaked city of Lubbock, Texas, Alma Lopez brought light into the world on October 22, 1957. Her journey, marked by undeniable strength, kindness, and devotion, ended peacefully in the same beloved city she called home on July 11, 2026. Though the earth feels stiller in her absence, Alma’s legacy echoes in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Alma’s life was a testament to the enduring bonds of family and the gentle resilience that defined her every step. The wife of Manuel Lopez, Alma stood as the radiant center of her family—steadfast and nurturing, always offering a warm hand to hold and a listening ear. Together, they built a household rich in laughter, traditions, and the subtle joys found in everyday moments.

Her three sons, Adrian Loredo, Jake Loredo, and Arturo Lopez remain as living legacies to her unwavering love and guidance. She delighted in their triumphs and offered comfort in times of hardship, teaching them by example the values of empathy, perseverance, and devotion. Alma’s brothers, Armando Yanez and Oscar Yanez, continue to carry her spirit in their memories and stories, holding close the bonds formed by shared years and experiences.

Alma’s journey was also touched by loss, shaped by the bittersweet presence of those who went before her: her father Jose Robles, her mother Manuela Madrid , and her brothers Victor Robles, Manuel Robles, and Danny Yanez. Their love was never far from her heart, and now Alma finds peace in their company once more.

Raised amidst the cotton fields and wide-open skies of Lubbock, Alma learned early the value of hard work, loyalty, and community. Those who encountered her knew her for her readiness to help, her gentle laughter, and the quiet wisdom that made her a natural confidant. Whether it was lending a hand in times of need or celebrating milestones with those she cherished, Alma lived her life in service to others, always with a generous spirit and an open heart.

The lives Alma touched were many—from family to friends, neighbors to strangers who soon felt like kin. Each memory, each moment of kindness or encouragement, is a thread in the vibrant tapestry of her life. As we remember Alma Lopez, we do so not with despair but with gratitude for the beauty and meaning she gave to those around her.

While Alma’s absence leaves a profound ache, it is softened by the love she leaves behind: in the stories retold at family gatherings, the recipes passed down from her kitchen, the lessons imparted to her sons, and the enduring devotion of her husband. Her legacy will continue to unfold, generation by generation, in the hearts and lives of all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband Manuel Lopez, her three sons Adrian Loredo, Jake Loredo and Arturo Lopez and his wife Angela Lopez and two grandchildren Chloe and Elliana Lopez.

In these tender days of remembrance, Alma’s family and friends gather in Lubbock to honor a life well-lived, to share their grief and joy, and to carry forward the legacy of a remarkable woman whose presence made the world brighter.
