Obituary

Socorro Casas De Escobedo, age 90, a cherished and longtime resident of Hereford, Texas, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 23, 2026, in Hereford, surrounded by her loving family.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM at San Jose Catholic Church, with Celebrant Shane Weick officiating. Following the service, burial will take place at St. Anthony's Cemetery. Arrangements and services are under the compassionate care of Mendez and Mullins Family Funeral Home of Hereford, Texas.

Family and friends may pay their respects during the viewing, which will be held on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the funeral home, with a rosary service beginning at 6:00 PM.

Born on April 25, 1935, in Durango, Mexico, Socorro was the beloved daughter of Jose and Francisca (Alcoser) Casas. She made Hereford her home for the past 50 years, where she worked as a housekeeper for many local residents, served as a farm laborer, and cooked at Leo's Café. Among her many roles, she especially treasured babysitting her nephews.

Socorro was a devoted member of San Jose Catholic Church. She found joy in dancing, listening to music—especially Mariachi—watching her favorite novelas, tending to her beautiful garden, cooking, and cherishing time with her loyal German shepherd, Luca, and her family. Family was first and foremost to Socorro's life; she held them close to her heart, particularly her nephew Jacob, whom she lovingly called "her baby." Her presence, laughter, and radiant smile will be deeply missed by all who knew and love her.

She is survived by her sister, Ernestine Estrada of Hereford; nephews Jaime Estrada and his wife Gabriela of Lubbock, Jacob Estrada and his wife Gabriela of New York, Miguel Casas and José Manuel Casas, Jr. both of Amarillo, Rafael Flores and Uriel Flores both of Hereford, and Raul Rojas Casas, Armando Rojas Casas, Arturo Rojas Casas, and Alfredo Rojas Casas all of Juarez, Mexico; nieces Esther Casas Rojas and Alicia Casas Rojas, both of Juarez, Mexico; and her great-niece and nephew, Belen Estrada and Israel Estrada, both of Lubbock.

Socorro was preceded in death by her parents, Jose and Francisca Casas; her husband, Fuljencio Escobedo; and her nephew, Moses Casas.

Nacida el 25 de abril de 1935 en Durango, México, Socorro fue la querida hija de José y Francisca (Alcoser) Casas. Hizo de Hereford su hogar durante los últimos 50 años, donde trabajó como empleada doméstica para muchos vecinos, trabajó como jornalera agrícola y cocinó en Leo's Café. Entre sus muchos papeles, valoraba especialmente cuidar a sus sobrinos.

Socorro fue un miembro devoto de la Iglesia Católica de San José. Encontraba alegría en bailar, escuchar música—especialmente el mariachi—ver sus novelas favoritas, cuidar su hermoso jardín, cocinar y disfrutar del tiempo con su leal pastor alemán, Luca, y su familia. La familia fue ante todo en la vida de Socorro; los guardaba cerca de su corazón, especialmente a su sobrino Jacob, a quien llamaba cariñosamente "su bebé". Su presencia, risas y radiante sonrisa serán profundamente echadas de menos por todos los que la conocieron y la quieren.
