Elvia G.

Palacios

Elvia G. Palacios, 74, born on January 21, 1952, in Corpus Christi, Texas, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Elvia will be remembered with love by those who knew her and by the family she held close throughout her life. She shared 52 years of marriage with her beloved husband and Junior High sweetheart, Paul Palacios, a lasting partnership that stood at the heart of her family. She is also lovingly survived by her daughter, Jeannette (Lupe) Tijerina, stepdaughter, Jennifer (Ray) Lyons, and her stepson, Paul (Angela) Palacios Jr. 

Her memory will continue to live on in the younger generations of her family, including her granddaughter Larissa Tijerina, step grandchildren Ginalynn Tijerina, Julia Lyons, Jackson Lyons, Janessa Lyons, Jessica Lyons, Amanda Palacios, and Ryan Palacios. Each of them carries forward a part of her presence. 

She is also survived by her brothers, Merce (Adelpha) Garcia, Jr. and Ernesto Garcia, Sr. She leaves behind nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that she loved dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Merce M. Garcia and Paulita D. Garcia, by her brother, Gilberto Garcia and nephew John Daniel Garcia. Their memory remained part of her life, and now she rests with those who went before her.

She graduated from Foy H. Moody High School Class of 1970. She found her passion working in the lumber industry including Alamo Enterprises, International Paper and Zarsky Lumber. She had a huge personality with a wonderful sense of humor. Her presence could light up a room. She was a stranger to no one. She enjoyed crocheting and watching her favorite TV shows, The Andy Griffith Show and Judge Judy.

As her family grieves this loss, they also give thanks for Elvia’s life, for the years she shared with them, and for the enduring bonds of love that remain. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

On behalf of her family we like to thank Assist Home Health, her Visiting Angels caregivers Delia Bustamante, Hayley Conner, Samantha Trevino and Dorothy Orozco and Tribute Hospice for taking such good care of her during her time of need.
