Mary Ann Caballero

Mary Ann Caballero, 79, was born on November 18, 1946, in Houston, Texas, and passed away on March 9, 2026, in Sugar Land, Texas.

She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and dear friend whose kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew her. The heart of her family, Mary took great pride in the love she shared with her children and grandchildren. A proud Houstonian, she enjoyed cheering on the Houston Astros and the Houston Texans. She also held a special place in her heart for her beloved cats, who brought her comfort and companionship throughout the years.

Mary was a natural caretaker who found joy in caring for others. She loved cooking and bringing family together over a good meal, always making sure those around her felt welcomed and cared for. She had a gift for storytelling and shared memories and laughter with those she loved. Her conversations were filled with humor, warmth, and a little bit of mischief. She shared a special bond with her husband, Frank, and loved dancing with him whenever she had the chance. Mary also enjoyed trying her luck at gambling, which she fondly called “Cha Ching,” and in quieter moments relaxed with the Cooking Channel, classic westerns, HGTV, and whatever her grandchildren were watching. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she found peace in attending church and spending time in prayer.

Mary was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth Castillo; her husband, Frank Caballero; her daughter, Mary Ruth Schnur; and her grandson, Frank Caballero. She is survived by her sons, Frank A. Caballero and wife Michelle, Henry J. Caballero and wife Alicia, and Bobby Caballero and wife Patricia; her daughters, Hope Elena Martinez and husband Rudy, and Julie G. Caballero Hermosa and husband Pedro; her siblings, Arturo, Janie, and Mary Helen; her grandchildren, Jacob, Jonathan, Michael, Mark, Erin, Kevin, Madison, Danielle, Noah, Jude, Lila, Drew, Ariel, Alyssa, and Lauren; and her great-grandchildren, Lucas, Bella, Emily, Daisy, Lily, and Kai. She also leaves behind many other cherished family members and a host of dear friends. Her love, laughter, and the many beautiful memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
