Obituary of Myra Pena

Please share a memory of Myra to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Our family's matriarch Myra Pena passed away peacefully on September 28th, 2023. She was surrounded by her loved ones as she took her last breath. Myra Pena is preceded in death by her parents Jesus and Ventura Padron, her siblings Carmen Martinez and Jose Padron and her loving daughter Michelle Pena Reyes. She is survived by her daughters Monica Pena Rasmussen (Jeffery), Melissa Pena and Melanie Sifuentes (Jose Gerardo), her Sons-In-Law, David Reyes and her grandchildren Sabrina Cantu, Rene Cantu Jr., Ashley Monreal, Maya Rasmussen and Janet Rasmussen, her great-grandchildren Noah Carrizalez, Lauren Cantu, Brandon Salinas, Destiny Hernandez and Jayden Cantu and her great-greatgrandchild Kayden Carrizalez. Myra was born in San Benito, Texas on December 30th, 1941. She was 81 years old. Myra was a jill of all trades; she was a licensed Cosmetologist, a Notary, a Bookkeeper, and Tax Preparer. She took great pride in her business of 35 years, MP’s Tax Service. Myra spent her time gardening, learning about bookkeeping, implementing new techniques, and helping customers. She also shared this great business with her family. Every tax season, you could find all Pena generations helping her answer phones, pulling files, or making reports for her. While she had a great business to run, her biggest pride and joy was her family. Her family will always remember how proud she was to see her family reach 5 generations, the moments they shared together at her house and her firecracker personality. She will be truly missed but we are thankful that she has met Our Lord Jesus Christ and reunited with her loved ones. Special thanks to her caregivers Elena Ramirez and Catalina Martinez. Visitation will be held on Monday October 9, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with a 7:00 p.m. Rosary at Thomae-Garza Funeral Home in San Benito, Texas.
