On September 14, 2017 at the age of 96 our Heavenly Father received Lupe Arcos to join her husband of 59 years, Cresencio Arcos. She was born on September 4, 1921 in Castroville, Texas and lived in San Antonio most of her adult life.

She worked at Joskee's of Texas where she was renown for selling beautiful scarves. She was a most active parishioner of St. Ann Catholic Church in San Antonio for 73 years. Lupe was a founding member of the parish's Guadalupanas and for many years she served at the helm of the St. Vincent de Paul dispensary. Her mission was to serve others with kindness and empathy.

Most memorably Lupe Arcos was a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. Her quest in life was to motivate and guide her children to a successful and joyful life, a goal she accomplished marvelously.
