Mary Acosta's Obituary
Mary Acosta, 89, of Pearland, Texas, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2024. Born on May 14, 1935. Mary's vibrant spirit and infectious laughter would go on to light up South Houston.
She leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter through her children, Jimmy Spencer and Charlene Norris; her siblings, Martha Triguerous, Estela Acosta, and Francisco Acosta; her cherished grandchildren, Rosselle and her husband BJ, Laura and her husband Joel, Jessica, Jimmy Jr., Sonya and her husband Sherman, and Nathan; and her adored great-grandchildren, Isaiah, Dalilah, Micah, Isabella, Abigail, Penelope, Enoch, Nathan, Zamira, Azariah, Macy, and Sofia.
With heavy hearts, we remember and celebrate the beautiful life of Mary, who passed away peacefully on August 11, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.
Her warmth, generosity, and kindness touched the lives of everyone who knew her. As a young woman, she was tenacious and driven, but never so much so that she forgot to laugh and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. In her later years, Mary lived a life of gratitude and faithfulness. Before losing mobility, she was often found at La Iglesia Christiana El Redentor, lifting everyone up in prayer.
She was a pillar of strength and grace, guiding us through life with her tough love and unwavering support. Mary loved Jesus and cherished her family. Her home was always filled with laughter, love, sweets (for "once in a while"), and the nostalgic aroma of her favorite perfumes. Her legacy of love, strength, generosity, and resilience lives on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the incredible life she lived and the countless memories
she created with us. Her life was a testament to the power of forgiveness, grace, faithfulness, and love.
Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us every day. "Thank you, God!"
Forever in Our Hearts, Never Forgotten.
Psalm 46.
