Francis Salas, 88, was born November 1, 1933, in Aspermont, TX to Dan & Teresa Rodriguez. She married Eliseo Salas Sr. on March 29, 1956, in Seguin, TX and was a home maker for most her life.

Her big heart gave her the ability to love her family and more importantly, love God. She was a lifelong Guadalupana, member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Crosbyton and helped faithfully in each Jamaica they had. In the words of her family, “she was the best mother and a great grandmother anyone could ever have”.

Those left to cherish her memory are her five sons, Eliseo & Mabel Salas, Eloy & Lorena Salas, John & Sara Salas.
