Jennifer Fonseca's Obituary
Jennifer Fonseca, 34, passed away Wednesday, July 27 in Houston, TX after a long battle with cancer. As a devoted mother, and beloved sister, daughter, and aunt, Jennifer fought valiantly for every day she could have with her family. She especially cherished every moment she could spend with her son Eric.
Jennifer was born on December 23, 1987, to her loving parents, Ubaldo and Maria Ana. She was the third of five children, with two older sisters and two younger brothers. She and her family were very close, and she loved every moment she could spend with them.
Jennifer also loved going out with friends and traveling. Before she became ill, she sought to help others in her work as well, whether as an optician or a substitute teacher. She loved children and her niece and nephews were always happy to see her.
When her son Eric was born, he became the center of her world, and she gave everything to help him be happy despite the illness she faced. We are comforted knowing she will continue to watch over him in love, and that through him, a piece of her will remain with all of us.
She is survived by her son, Eric Ian Sanchez; partner, Eric Sanchez; parents, Ubaldo Fonseca and Maria Ana Fonseca; siblings Marisela (Matthew) Chilcote, Lizzette (Jesus) Vargas; Ubaldo Fonseca Jr.; and Bryan Fonseca.
