Dora Pacheco

Our beloved Dora J. Pacheco entered eternal rest, surrounded by her loving family, on October 11, 2025, at the blessed age of 92. Born on December 20, 1932, Dora lived a life rooted in love, faith, and devotion to her family.

Family was Dora’s greatest joy and proudest accomplishment. She is survived by her children: Dolly Herrera (Fernando), Robert Pacheco (Lucille), Doreen Pacheco Vazquez (Alvaro), Raymond Pacheco (Vivian), Ron Pacheco (Veronica), and Richard Pacheco (Silvia). As the heart and matriarch of her family, she also leaves behind 23 grandchildren, 56 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren, each one cherished deeply and loved beyond measure.

Dora’s unwavering faith, compassion, and strength were the foundation of her home. She welcomed all with open arms and a warm heart, creating a legacy of love, unity, and togetherness that will continue to guide her family for generations. Her kindness touched countless lives, and the memories she created will be treasured forever.

Though she is no longer with us in body, Dora’s spirit will continue to inspire, guide, and embrace those she loved every day.
