Gumercinda Perez Obituary (1932

Our loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother Gumercinda C. Perez went to be with the Lord on June 23rd, 2019 at Cottage in the Meadow, surrounded by her Family. Gumercinda was born January 13, 1932 in Cueramaro, Guanajato Mexico to Miguel and Maria Castillo. She met and married her one love, Pedro Perez on May 8th 1954 and there began the start of the Familia Perez. Their family began in Cueramaro Guanajato Mexico then in 1959 they migrated to Watsonville CA where they stayed for 10 years. In 1969 they came to Washington State, and not to long after that found their forever home in Toppenish, WA. Gumercinda gave her life to the Lord in her early 20s. She led her husband to the Lord and together they raised their children in a Godly home. They opened up their home to anyone who was in need and there was never a time that they were not serving at the church or a time when friends and families were gathered at their home, eating the wonderful meals that she would cook for all of them. Gumercinda tragically lost her husband, son and a grandson in 1986, but being the strong woman she was she pressed on for her family. Gumercinda had several jobs in her life but her favorite was being a homemaker, caring for not only her family, but anyone who walked through her home with a need. Her mission in life was to uplift. Her desire was to help serve her family and friends. She was a prayer warrior and had a prayer chain from across the country who would help stand in the gap for her loved ones. Gumercinda was an amazing Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. She loved the color lilac and she looked beautiful in her favorite color. She loved to crochet blankets for her grandchildren. She enjoyed her garden and was especially proud of her cactus tree and lemon tree. She enjoyed reading her bible and always had an encouraging word and scripture to support her friends and family. She had a beautiful voice and we will always remember her singing a song to the Lord. She loved going to her church, being with her friends and family and worshipping God. She was a member of Templo Cristiano Sinai in Granger, Wa until the time of her passing. She is survived by her children Eva DeLaRosa (Elias), Rachel Martinez (Emilio), Samuel Perez (Alicia), Joel Perez, Olivia Kollmar (Kris), Ismael Perez (Deana), Lydia Garza (Mario), Moises Perez (Gina), Pedro Perez Jr (Norma), Deborah Perez and Audelia Perez, 30 grandkids and 43 great grandchildren, and several kids she adopted as her own.
