With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Cynthia Perales, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, who departed peacefully from this world on May 31, 2026, at her cherished home in San Antonio, Texas. Born on October 2, 1950, Cynthia was a beacon of warmth and love throughout her 75 years, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Cynthia's journey began in the vibrant city of San Antonio, where she was welcomed into the world by her loving parents, Santos and Cecilia Garza. From them, she inherited a rich legacy of kindness, resilience, and grace that she carried forward throughout her life. A woman of profound intellect and curiosity, Cynthia pursued her education with dedication, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree. Her academic accomplishments were a testament to her perseverance and passion for learning. She approached every endeavor with enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence, inspiring those around her to reach for their dreams. Beyond her professional pursuits, Cynthia found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. Her love of gardening was evident in the vibrant blooms that adorned her home, each plant a testament to her nurturing spirit and the care she poured into everything she touched. Her gardens were a sanctuary, a place where she found peace and contentment. Cynthia’s kitchen was another domain where her love shone brightly. An accomplished baker, she delighted in creating delicious treats that brought smiles to the faces of family and friends. Her baked goods were more than just confections; they were expressions of love, shared in countless gatherings, celebrations, and quiet afternoons spent together. Her greatest pride and joy, however, was her family. Cynthia was a devoted mother and grandmother, whose love knew no bounds. She leaves behind a legacy of love in her seven cherished grandchildren, each of whom carries a piece of her heart. Her gentle guidance, unwavering support, and infectious laughter will be dearly missed but forever cherished in their hearts. Cynthia's life was a tapestry woven with love, laughter, and a steadfast commitment to her family and community. Her presence was a gift to all who knew her, and her memory will remain a guiding light for her loved ones. As we bid farewell to Cynthia, we take comfort in the knowledge that her spirit will continue to blossom in the gardens she tended, the recipes she perfected, and the hearts of those she so dearly loved. Her life was a testament to the beauty of simplicity, the power of love, and the enduring strength of family. A celebration of Cynthia's life will be held in the coming days, where friends and family will gather to honor her memory and share stories of a life well-lived. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a local gardening club or community bakery, causes that were close to Cynthia’s heart. Rest in peace, dear Cynthia. Your love and light will forever guide us.
