Ma Guadalupe Cerda Lopez Obituary (1951 - 2025)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ma Guadalupe Cerda Lopez, who left us on January 9th, 2025. Born in Sabinas Coahuila, Mexico on September 16, 1951, Ma Guadalupe was a vibrant soul, whose passion for life was infectious and whose kindness was unending. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This quote resonates deeply when thinking about the life and legacy of Ma Guadalupe. Her warmth, compassion, and unwavering love will forever be remembered by those fortunate enough to have known her. Ma Guadalupe dedicated her life to the noble pursuit of education. She earned her degrees in Mexico and served as a director of a school, leaving an indelible impact on countless young minds. Her dedication to teaching was not merely a career choice but a testament to her deep-seated belief in the power of knowledge and the transformative potential of education. As Nelson Mandela stated, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world," and Ma Guadalupe held this belief close to her heart, living it out daily in her interactions with her students. Despite her many achievements, what mattered most to Ma Guadalupe was her family. She was a devoted daughter to the late Felix Cerda Campos and Eloisa Lopez, Her love for her family was evident in her every action, and her memory will continue to live on in those she left behind. We invite you to share your memories and upload photos of Ma Guadalupe to the memorial page, so we may all remember and celebrate her life together. As we say our final goodbyes, let us remember the words of Albert Pine, "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." Ma Guadalupe's legacy of love, compassion, and dedication to education will forever remain in our hearts.
