Lupe C. Lara

Lupe C. Lara, 62, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, in Burleson, Texas surrounded by a host of family and friends. Lupe was born on December 11, 1961, in Lubbock, Texas to Mercedes and Eluteria Cruz.

Lupe worked as a supervisor for Dillard’s for 27 years, beginning in 1994 until she retired in 2021. Lupe welcomed her daughter in November of 1980. She married John Lara in 1986,
welcoming her second daughter that same year. The Cruz and Lara families were brought together from that day. Lupe devoted herself to her children, grandchildren, nieces and
nephews to ensure their happiness. She also loved her shopping. Her closet was a treasure trove of the latest fashions. But in the end, her greatest trend was in the number of brothers,
sisters, nieces and nephews that chose to call her family.
