Liza Manglona

November 18, 1970 — February 5, 2026

With heavy hearts and profound love, we gather to remember the beautiful life of Liza Manglona, who gracefully departed this world on February 5, 2026, at the age of 55. Born on November 18, 1970, in the vibrant city of Honolulu, Hawaii, Liza lived a life that was as warm and inviting as the island breezes of her birthplace. Liza's passing was peaceful, embraced by the love and cherished memories of family and friends. Her gentle spirit, unwavering strength, and deep love for her family touched all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and compassion that will continue to inspire those who remain. Liza was a mother of three wonderful children: Gerald Pinkston, Jordan Manglona, and Angela Durazo. Her children were the very heart of her world, and she found immense joy and pride in their accomplishments and happiness. Her nurturing nature and steadfast support were the cornerstones of her family, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Liza is also survived by her loving siblings: her sister Sheila Manglona Shane (Jeffrey), brother Frankie Manglona (Sara), sister Kathy Sneed (James) and brother Patrick Manglona (Misty). Her family was her anchor, and the bonds they shared were unbreakable. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Francisco and Ana Manglona, whose memory she always held dear. A woman of warmth and generosity, Liza had the unique ability to touch lives with her comforting words, caring nature, and quiet strength. Whether sharing a laugh, offering a shoulder to lean on, or simply being present, she made a lasting impact on everyone she met. Her presence brought comfort, unity, and love, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her. Although we mourn the loss of Liza, we take solace in the knowledge that her transition was peaceful. Her spirit will forever be remembered with love, honor, and gratitude. Her legacy of love, faith, and family lives on through her children and through all who carry her memory in their hearts. In accordance with Liza's wishes, a private memorial service will be held on July 11, 2026, in 2:00 PM in Cleburne, TX. This intimate gathering will be a time for family and close friends to celebrate the life of a remarkable woman who was deeply loved and will be forever missed. As we say goodbye, we hold Liza in our hearts, eternally grateful for the time we shared and the love she bestowed upon us. She will be deeply missed and forever loved, her memory a guiding light in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
