RAQUEL SAUZA
August 9, 1949 – December 25, 2021
Raquel Sauza of Dallas, Texas was born in Ixmiquilpan Hidalgo, Mexico.
Raquel was a loving and devoted mother of 6 children, grandmother to 24 grandchildren and great-grandmother of 9 great-grand babies. Raquel had many beautiful attributes including being an amazing cook, a woman of grand Faith, a mighty prayer warrior, and a passionate bearer of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She
was a walking testimony of putting Jesus above anything and serving, ministering, and evangelizing with a joyful heart. She had an immense compassion for the lost souls, and the lives she touched and ministered are forever changed. The ripples from her love will be felt for generations to come. We celebrate that she is in the
arms of Jesus.
