Lupita "Lupe" Fuentes

Lupita Fuentes, known to family and friends as "Lupe," was born on October 29, 1957 in San Antonio, TX. She was the 3rd of 10 children born to Fernando and Irene Adamez. Lupe attended school in the San Antonio Independent School District where she graduated as a Cherokee from Sam Houston High School in 1976. Though Lupe worked for various companies, sometimes holding two and three jobs at a time; some of her most memorable positions were held at HEB, Auto Zone, Judson Independent School District, and most recently the San Antonio Zoo where she was known and loved as "base." Lupe met many friends along her journey in life, many of whom have expressed the positive impact she has had on their lives; this says so much about her vibrant personality. Lupe's #1 hobby was playing none other than BINGO, for many years prior to her illness she attended bingo every Sunday with her mother; she would also attend with her sisters and friends on her free time. In addition to playing bingo, Lupe loved spending time with her family & friends, whether it was trying a new restaurant for dinner, attending birthday parties, or having a family fun day consisting of potluck and poker she enjoyed herself as long as she was with the people she loved. One thing everyone agrees about Lupe is that she was the most selfless, sweetest, and kindest woman you'd ever come across. Lupe loved to make others happy, even before herself. She has truly given her last dime to someone in need. It is for her beautiful personality and various acts of kindness that she will truly be missed by everyone she met. One lesson Lupe would want others to take from her is to "live life, be kind to one another, and when possible pay it forward." Lupe leaves to cherish her memory a large loving family consisting of her Soulmate, Kenneth Pope; Mother, Irene Adamez; Daughter, Krystal Costello; Son & Daughter-in-law Johnny & Lauren Garza; Grandchildren, Jaliyah & Jada Garza; Brothers, Junior Adamez, Jimmy Adamez, and Ricardo Adamez; Sisters, Mary Govea, Joanie Samudio, Blanca Mermea, Esther Gomez, Sandy Diaz, and Andrea Adamez; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of additional family members and friends.
