Obituary
Blasa C. Castro Gamboa 91 of Ft. Stockton passed away on Friday, October 15, 2021
in her home surrounded by her loved ones.
in her home surrounded by her loved ones.
Blasa was born on March 3, 1930 in Santa Elena, Chihuahua, Mexico to Sixto Silvas and Eustolia Garcia. She married Manuel Gamboa on January 25, 1965 in San Carlos Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua, Mexico and had 10 children. Blasita worked as a homemaker. After the death of her husband, she and her children moved to the United States. She lived in Florida for a short period, but lived the majority of her life in Denver City, Iraan, and San Angelo, Texas, alongside her children. Becoming a U.S. Citizen was something that Blasita had always dreamed about. At the age of 87, that dream came to fruition.
Blasita was known for always being a hard worker and she instilled a hard work ethic into each of her children. Everyone loved her cooking, especially her tamales and empanadas. She loved to go to the Bingo, to play Loteria with her family and loved to be surprised with scratch off tickets. She also enjoyed gardening and loved any conversation over a good cup of cafecito. She loved people and took joy in sharing her cooking with others, but most of all she loved her family, her children, and her grandchildren. Blasita took so much pride in her children and grandchildren. She was a woman of faith, a very selfless person and had a heart of gold. She was a giver. Blasita was the matriarch of the family and her family adored her. The contributions that she made to her family and love that she gave will never be forgotten. She will be greatly missed.
Blasita is preceded in death by her parents, Sixto Silvas and Eustolia Garcia, her husband Manuel Gambóa, her son Manuel Gambóa Jr., three grandchildren, Ruben Gambóa Jr., Joel Gambóa, Esteban Gambóa, and all of her brothers and sisters.
