Macario Y. Arredondo

Macario Yanez Arredondo, fondly known as Max, Macky, or Gordo to those who knew him well, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2026, in Sterling City, Texas. Born on February 23, 1938, in Sonora, Texas, Macario was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend whose life was marked by simplicity, warmth, and deep devotion to his family and community.

Macario was the beloved son of Librado Arredondo and Luisa Yanez. He spent his formative years in Sonora, Texas, where he developed a strong work ethic that later defined his career as a dedicated meat packer. Though he did not attend high school or college, Macario’s life was rich with the lessons of hard work, kindness, and unwavering faith. A devout Christian, he was known for his humility and his commitment to living a life rooted in love and respect for others.

On November 23, 1961, Macario married the love of his life, Francisca Ramirez. Together, they built a loving family and shared a lifetime of memories until her passing. Macario’s family was the center of his universe, and he poured his heart into his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his daughters Delma Arredondo, Telma Arredondo, Lupe Guevara, and Angelica Arellano. His legacy lives on through his grandchildren Glen Duque, Raquel Castro, Armando Castro, Veronica Hernandez, Jessica Pesina, Amanda Zuniga, Justin Arredondo, Jacob Arredondo, Isaiah Arellano, and Esai Arellano, as well as his great-grandchildren Tyi Duque, Eli Duque, Noah Castro, Haven Castro, Leandro Hernandez, Natalya Hernandez, Kensley Zuniga, Kayne Zuniga, Aiden Arredondo, Blake Arredondo, Alakai Arredondo, and Ghaige Arredondo.

Macario was preceded in death by his devoted spouse Francisca Arredondo, son Samuel Arredondo, daughter Beatrice Ramirez, beloved grandson Joshua Arredondo, one brother, and five sisters. Their memories remain a treasured part of his story and the foundation of the close-knit family that continues to honor his name.

Known for his love of baking pecan pies, tending to his yard, playing the guitar, singing, and engaging in lively games of poker and lotería, Macario found joy in the simple pleasures of life. One memorable story that captures his enduring spirit occurred the night before his passing. Even though he was weakened and under medication, when asked about pears, he eagerly inquired if the family was playing lotería and was ready to join in the fun. His playful heart and zest for life shone brightly until the very end.

Macario’s family offers their deepest gratitude to his beloved older sister and devoted caregiver, Delma. Her time, strength, patience, and unconditional love provided comfort and peace during the most challenging moments of his life. The special bond they shared was a testament to family love and dedication.

Stephanie Ortiz

Stephanie Alice Ortiz, born on March 25, 1977, in Dallas, Texas, peacefully passed away on June 4, 2026. Her life journey was one marked by warmth, kindness, and a steadfast commitment to caring for others, qualities that endeared her to all who knew her.

Stephanie was raised in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, where she attended Lassiter Early College High School at El Centro College. Though she did not pursue formal degrees, her education was reflected in the grace and patience she demonstrated throughout her career. For many years, Stephanie dedicated herself to customer support services, where her kind heart and willingness to help lifted the spirits of countless individuals.

Her upbringing in the Jehovah’s Witness faith instilled in her profound lessons of generosity, kindness, and selfless care—principles she carried into every aspect of her life. Stephanie found great joy in spending time with family and friends, delighting in watching movies, playing games, and cherishing moments filled with laughter and love. Those who enjoyed her company knew her as a person with a soft spot for animals, whose affection extended to every creature she met.

On February 29, 2020, Stephanie married Frank Garcia, with whom she shared a loving partnership. She is survived by her devoted husband Frank; her stepsons Jonathan and Justin Garcia; her sister Herlinda Mata; and her brother Angel Ortiz. Her heart was especially full when surrounded by her nephews—Alexander, Andre, Nicholas, and Jason Ortiz—who brought her immense pride and joy. Stephanie was also blessed to have nieces and nephews from her husband’s family, alongside extended relatives who held a cherished place in her life.

Stephanie’s roots run deep in the embrace of her family’s love. Although born to Ernestina Leija, she was lovingly raised and later adopted by her grandmother, Erlinda Ortiz. It was Erlinda’s unwavering guidance and unconditional love that profoundly shaped the woman Stephanie became. This remarkable bond was a cornerstone of her life.

Her laughter, compassion, and tender spirit shone brightly in all that she did. Stephanie’s fondness for cuddling babies, spoiling pets, and sharing a funny animal video were simple yet profound expressions of her big heart. These moments underscored her extraordinary capacity for joy and connection, attributes that will be sorely missed by all who were privileged to know her.

The family invites all who loved Stephanie to pay their respects during a visitation held on June 9, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Chism-Smith Funeral Home, located at 403 South Britain Road, Irving, Texas, 75060.

In honoring Stephanie’s memory, donations may be made to the National Kidney Foundation or to a local animal shelter, continuing the legacy of compassion and caring that defined her life.

The family extends their profound gratitude to the National Kidney Foundation for their encouragement and support, which meant so much to Stephanie and her loved ones. They also deeply appreciate the exceptional care and kindness provided by the dedicated teams at Irving Dialysis Center at Baylor Scott & White and Avante Rehabilitation Center, whose compassion brought comfort in her final days.

Stephanie Ortiz’s spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched with her grace and generosity—a testament to a life beautifully lived and dearly cherished.

I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

And when you pass through the rivers, They will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire, You will not beburned;

The flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God

The Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
