Beatriz Soto Obituary (1929 - 2024)

Beatriz Ramirez Soto February 17, 1929 ~ April 26, 2024 In the sweet embrace of the dawn, our beloved Beatriz Ramirez Soto was called to the Lord's heavenly garden on April 26, 2024. Born in the vibrant fields of Irapuato, Guanajuato, Los Sauces, on February 17, 1929, she blossomed into a life of unwavering devotion and love. Beatriz, as she was affectionately known, transitioned peacefully into eternal rest in San Diego, California, having lived a full and rich life. Beatriz was a beacon of light to all who knew her. Her journey began in the humble roots of Mexico, where she received a basic education that grounded her in the values of hard work and perseverance. As she navigated through life's trials and tribulations, Beatriz's hands were never idle. She toiled with love in a tortilla factory, shared her strength with the earth as a migrant farm worker, crafted meals with care as a cook, and above all, she was a bountiful mother to her seven children. Her work was her worship, and her family, her congregation. The legacy of Beatriz is cherished by her blooming family tree: her sons and daughters, Nicolas Mejia, Jose Luis Mejia, Hector Antonio Mejia, Diana Maria Valdovinos, Gloria Sylvia Rodriguez, Timoteo Soto, and Alfonso Soto. Each of them a testament to her loving spirit, her kindness, and her friendly grace. They are the fruits of her labor, the verses of her life's song, nurtured by her dedication and sacrifice. As the sun sets on the life of Beatriz, we celebrate the harvest of her years. Her interests were simple, yet profound-raising her seven children with a heart full of love, giving them all she was capable of, and teaching them the beauty of compassion and the strength of kinship. In this, she was a living sermon, a walking testament to the power of maternal love. The words that best describe Beatriz are those that resonate with the warmth of her embrace: loving, kind, and friendly. She walked through life with a smile that could disarm the coldest hearts and a gentleness that soothed the most troubled souls. Her presence was a sanctuary, her laughter a choir of joy, and her guidance a compass for those seeking the path of righteousness. In remembrance of Beatriz, we are reminded of the words of the Psalmist, "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." (Proverbs 31:28). Truly, she was a woman of virtue, a caretaker of her family's faith, and a cultivator of the gardens of love. As we gather to bid farewell to Beatriz Ramirez Soto, let us not mourn as those without hope. Instead, let us rejoice in the knowledge that she has been welcomed into the eternal embrace of her Creator. She has cast off the burdens of this earthly realm and now dances in the fields of divine glory. We shall hold her memory dear, her lessons close to our hearts, and her spirit as a guiding light. Though her physical presence has departed from this world, her spirit remains an undying flame in the hearts of those she touched. Beatriz's love will continue to blossom in the lives of her children, the smiles of her grandchildren, and the stories that will be told by generations to come. In her life, she planted seeds of joy, and now, she reaps the harvest of everlasting peace. We commend Beatriz to the loving arms of our Savior, confident that she rests in the sacred peace of His presence. Her journey on Earth has ended, but her story continues-a tale of love's enduring power. May we find comfort in the assurance that her love remains with us, as constant as the stars, as eternal as the promise of salvation.
