Adamina Ramirez Benavidez

Adamina Ramirez de Benavidez age 92, peacefully fell asleep in death on Sunday November 24, 2019 at her residence of 52 years in Angleton, TX. She was born August 15, 1927 in El Rancho Nuevo Las Laborcitas, on the outskirts of San Pedro de Roma, now known as Cd. Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She was the youngest of 14 children born to Enemencia and Eleuterio Ramirez. Growing up on a ranch she learned many skills and how to be resourceful. In time she met the love of her life and after several years of courtship she married Reynaldo Benavidez on August 22, 1948. Together they had 10 children, 6 boys and 4 girls. Their early life together began in Mexico and during that time she gave birth to 8 children. Having secured their US citizenship they immigrated to the USA where they settled in Angleton, Texas in 1964, and soon after they had their last 2 children. Her labor of love for her family was shown in many ways, but especially in her desire to make sure her family was always fed. She would always cook enough to feed an army. Her delicious Mexican rice was known and desired by many. She took pride in making empanadas, tamales, menudo, capirotada, mol and atol de Pinol. She would tell her family "Comel mijito para que no andes con la tripa rumbando" (Eat my child, so you're belly won't growl). She was a selfless woman, always putting the needs of her family and others above her needs, she made many sacrifices just to make sure her family was safe and protected. She was always concerned with keeping the family name honorable and not bringing reproach, so she would tell us " Portense bien que nada les cuesta" (Behave yourself, it won't cost you anything). She was the disciplinary of the house and being respectful to others was at the top of the list for her children to learn. Rightfully so, her legacy is the love of family that she leaves behind to continue for generations to come. Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives that she touched. All who knew her well were often caught up in her poems that she loved reciting. She was a member of the Most Holy Trinity Church and an active member of the Guadalupanas for many years. She will be be deeply missed by her family and friends, and all who knew her.
