Emma Marie (Gonzales) Tijerina, 79, went to be with our Lord April 10, 2024 in her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born July 16, 1944 in San Antonio, Texas to Ben and Adeline Gonzales. Emma was a strong, compassionate and loving woman. Emma was a gentle soul with the heart of a child. She loved her children unconditionally and with that same heart loved her family and friends. Emma had the most contagious and kind smile. She loved the outdoors, animals and especially, music and dancing. Although she was a country girl to heart, she loved her red lipstick and polish! Emma was also very strong in her faith and remained so until her last day. She is preceded in death by her parents, siblings, daughter, Tracey and son, Felix Tijerina Jr.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 53 years, Felix Tijerina; sons, Mack Gonzales, Michael Gonzales, Billy Tijerina and Brandon Tijerina; daughters, Michelle Ford, Cynthia Tijerina and Jennifer Tijerina; fur-baby, Rudy; 17 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren; extended family and friends. Although we will miss her dearly, she would not want us to be sad, but to celebrate the life she lived and share the love she gave so generously.

Love you Momma Emma
Rest in peace Emma.
I haven’t found words that would encompass the depth of heartache and yurning that has ungulfed my being. What a blessing of a mother you will forever be to me. The unique bond we had of being able to feel one another and speak everything that could be said by looking into your eyes. I’m lost without you. Your smile made the entire world better. The world is off its axle and will never be right again. The air I breath will never be the same. I miss you mom and will never stop needing you. My flower, my sweet kind, and gentle flower. I love you.
