In Loving Memory of Sister Jane Zamora, M.C.M
September 2, 1938 - April 17, 2025

Sister Jane Zamora, MCM, age 86 of San Antonio, Texas entered eternal rest on April 17, 2025.  A devoted member of the Cordi-Marian Missionary Sisters, she dedicated her life to faith, service, and community.  Sister Jane embraced her calling on May 7, 1978, joining the Cordi-Marian Congregation, where she became a beacon of compassion and generosity.

Born into a family with deep historical roots, Sister Jane was the cherished daughter of Carlos and Herminia Donnell Zamora and granddaughter of Blas and Paula Leal Donnell.  She was preceded in death by several beloved siblings, including Maria Cristina Zamora Norman and her husband Gerald, Ricardo Zamora, Carlos (Carlitos) Zamora, Maria Conception Zamora, Rodolfo Zamora, Maria del Carmen Zamora Wildman; and brother in law, Gilbert Paredez.

She is survived by Maria Elena (Helen) Zamora Paredez,  Melvin Wildman, Maria Concepcion (Connie) Zamora Marquez and husband Gilberto.

A proud 9th generation Texan, Sister Jane was a direct descendant of the Canary Islanders, including Juan Goraz Leal, who led the first settlers of San Antonio in 1731.  Her family's legacy now extends into 11 generations of Texans, a heritage she held close to her heart.

Sister Jane's life was a testament to service.  Among her many roles, she:
-Supervised Bexar County Courthouse's Voter Office precincts.
-Served as Secretary for the Mexican-American Cultural Center (MACC).
-Assisted in catechetical parish programs and supported various pastors.

-Transcribed programs for the Hispanic Television Network, particularly Nuestra Familia.
