Hilda Valencia

Mrs. Hilda Quillermina Valencia, age 69, of Hazlehurst passed away Thursday, April 18, 2024, at Jeff Davis Hospital under the care of Coastal Hospice.

Mrs. Valencia was born January 27, 1955, in Colima Mexico.

She is preceded in death by her parents Anastacio Valencia and Consuelo Ochoa and her grandson, Rikki Zuniga.

She was retired from Jeff Davis Hospital after many years of service and was a member of the Good Shepherd Catholic Church.

Mrs. Hilda was a very strong-willed individual, very hard-working, self-sufficient, never asked anyone for anything.

She loved her family dearly and always enjoyed traveling to visit with them.

She was a great cook; an avid gardener and she really took pride in her possessions.  She was a witty person, lived life to the fullest, and was always making her family laugh.  She had a special, one-of-a-kind son-in-law, that she was crazy about, simply because he was the ONLY son-in-law she had.

Survivors include her husband, Jose Angel Palmeros of Hazlehurst; daughters and son-in-law Hilda A. Delamora, Gnselda Delamora and Esmeralda (Tino) Torres all of Hazlehurst; son and daughter-in-law, Gilberto and Reyna Delamora of Illinois; brothers, Jesus Valencia and Ramario Valencia both of Mexico; sisters, Maria Morales and Maria Valencia both of Mexico; seven grandchildren, Jackelyn, Cristian, Angelina, Bianca, Emily, Michael and Justin; great grandson, Tristan; several nieces and nephews also survive.

Interment will follow the service at Hazlehurst Memorial Gardens. A visitation will be held at Wainright Parlor Funeral Home Sunday, April 21, 2024, from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM.

Active pallbearers will be Tino Torres, Cristian Torres, Justin Torres, Michael Delamora, Gilberto Delamora and Angel Palmeros.
