Concepcion Valdez, cariñosamente conocida como Concha, nació el 2 de febrero de 1944 en Huetamo Michoacán, México, hija de Luciano Valdez y Marciana Peñalosa. Partió de este mundo el 2 de febrero de 2026, después de una vida llena de amor, alegría y fe.

Concha se mudo a Cleburne, Texas, donde trabajó en el restaurante Chaf-In y la bodega Walls por muchos años. Siempre fue el corazón de su familia, de sus hermanos en Cristo y de sus amistades. A pesar de las dificultades y adversidades que enfrentó a lo largo de su vida, su fe fue su mayor fortaleza y guía. Esa fe le permitió mantenerse firme, agradecida y con una sonrisa constante, aun en los momentos más difíciles.

Su humor, su risa contagiosa y su manera cariñosa de tratar a todos la hicieron inolvidable. Disfrutaba profundamente de las reuniones familiares y siempre sabía cómo hacer que todos se sintieran queridos y bienvenidos. No dudaba en viajar largas distancias para visitar a sus seres queridos, pues para ella la familia era un regalo de Dios y compartir tiempo juntos era algo muy importante.

La sobreviven sus queridos hijos e hijas: Israel Arana, Hortensia Arana, Elizandro Arana, Huber Arana, Lauder Arana, Ever Arana y Maria Venegas, y sus queridos nietos y nietas quienes continúan honrando su vida y su memoria.

Hoy deja un gran vacío pero sabemos que un día la volveremos a ver. Su memoria vivirá en cada sonrisa que provocó, en cada reunión familiar que llenó de alegría y en los corazones de todos los que la amaron.
