On the evening of June 20, 2024, in New Braunfels, Texas, angels from the realm of God’s glory welcomed Andrea Bocanegra Estrada, age 78, to Eternal Life.
Andrea was born to the late Sotero Vieira Bocanegra and Dora de la Garza Bocanegra in Corpus Christi, Texas on June 30, 1945. She was predeceased by her parents, her former husband, Raul Estrada, Sr, her eldest daughter, Leticia Ann Auld, and one sister, Imelda Bocanegra Gomez.

After graduating from W.B. Ray High School in 1964, Andrea worked in mostly clerical and administrative roles, but none were as important as her role as being a loving mother to her three children. Her love for her children was paramount in everything that she did and was known for.
From her love of cooking to sending beautiful cards to loved ones, Andrea was always known as someone who always gave of herself to others. Her love was sacrificial, selfless, and boundless. Andrea was also known for her sweet voice and demeanor to everyone who knew her. She made friends everywhere she went. She was so kindhearted and personable. Her beautiful cursive handwriting was impeccably perfect. Her attention to detail and organization was legendary.

You will truly missed. Love you .
It saddens me to hear of Andreas passing. Through the years I have often thought of her. So was always kind to me and my family and while she was only in our lives a short time, she created lasting memories. My condolences, she will be missed.
I will forever be grateful for having you as my mother and best friend. I was always a mama’s girl and will continue to be one. You had the most amazing nurturing spirit. That’s one of the reasons everyone loved you. You truly were the most beautiful inside and out. I know you were probably looking down on us during your services and so pleased with everything. You looked absolutely stunning, yet peaceful. Just how you would’ve liked it.
I look forward to the day I’m called home and you and Letty will be there to guide me to our eternal home and I’ll never leave your side for eternity.
To say I love you is an understatement. My love for you is endless and eternal. ❤️
I will continue to miss you, think of you and pray for you for the rest of my life and I look forward to the day we’re reunited again. I love you so much, Choochie!
Love, your Little Choochie ❤️
