Maria De La Luz Serrano, affectionately known by all who loved her as “Lucy,” passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, in Cameron, in her home surrounded by the warmth and presence of her devoted family. She was 83 years old.

A Life Rooted in Heritage and Heart

Born in Mexico, Lucy carried the vibrant spirit of her heritage with her throughout her life.

Whether she was sharing her love through her cooking, enjoying her favorite music, or gathering everyone together, Lucy’s pride in her roots was evident to all.

Above all else, Lucy lived for her family. She found her greatest happiness in the laughter of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She cherished their time together, especially their frequent outings to eat at her favorite local spots, where memories were made over shared meals and conversation.
