Irma Adelina Juarez

Irma Adelina Juarez was a deeply beloved sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend whose radiant smile, warm and caring spirit, and fearless sense of adventure touched countless lives.

Born on June 20, 1947, in Ojinaga, Mexico, to Florentino and Eloisa Juarez, she moved with her family at a young age to Kermit, Texas, where she graduated from high school. She went on to attend Lubbock Christian University School of Nursing, earning her Registered Nurse degree. Irma later made her home in El Paso, Texas, where she built her career, raised her two sons, and created a life centered on faith, family, and perseverance.

She was the proud mother of Rudy and Danny, whom she raised with strength, devotion, and boundless love. Irma enjoyed a meaningful career as a nurse and found success as a businesswoman, always guided by determination and a strong work ethic. Passionate about health and fitness, she committed herself to daily workouts and completed numerous marathons, many of which she won in her age category. When running began to affect her back, she transitioned to speed walking and earned the title of “Fastest Woman in El Paso” for her age group. She also embraced competitive dance, winning several competitions. Whatever goal she set, she pursued with remarkable discipline and heart.

Above all, Irma’s greatest joy was her family and friends. She treasured every shared meal, celebration, card game, dance, and storytelling moment. A devoted member of Coronado Baptist Church, she served faithfully as a greeter and office volunteer, always willing to lend a helping hand. She loved fiercely and without limits, and her presence brought warmth and laughter wherever she went.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her two older brothers, Alfonso and Oscar. Irma is survived by her sons, Rudy Heredia and Danny Heredia and wife Gabi; her cherished grandchildren, Colton, Madelyn, Mason, Megan, and Lauren; her sister, Hilda Davis; and her brothers, Lenin Juarez and Leo Juarez. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close. The family is deeply grateful for the compassionate care provided by her devoted caregivers, Gude, Yoli, and Karyna.
