Eloisa was born December 31, 1931, in Los Fresnos, Texas to Liberato Sanchez and Micaela Torres. Eloisa attended school in Los Fresnos and graduated in 1950. She was working in Brownsville until she met and fell in love with Luis Delgado from Port Isabel. Eloisa and Luis were married on March 26, 1953, in Brownsville, Texas. Afterwards they moved to Corpus Christi where Eloisa worked as an accountant for Bakers Shoes. Also, while in Corpus, Eloisa and Luis welcomed their children into the world, Jorge Luis Delgado, and Norma Lee Delgado Espinoza born July 15, 1956.
Eloisa started her career as a teacher’s aide with the Los Fresnos ISD, when she and Luis moved back to the Valley in 1970. Eloisa then retired from LFISD in 1992. After her retirement, Eloisa devoted much of her retirement years caring for many children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and several extended family children; all of which benefited from the love, grace, and wisdom of Eloisa.
In 2001, Eloisa moved to McAllen, Texas to live with her daughter, Norma. While living in McAllen, Eloisa enjoyed gardening, travelling, and took a special interest in collecting trinkets, especially crystal.
