Eloysa Mota

Eloysa Mota, age 95, daughter of Frank Luna and Laura Martinez, was born on June 4, 1929, in Argo, Illinois. She returned to our Heavenly Father on March 28, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona, surrounded by loved ones.

Eloysa is preceded in death by her two husbands, Juan Casarez and Juan Mota; daughters, Elizabeth Ojeda, Sara de Los Santos and Delores Gonzales; sons, Eddie, Juan and Joe Casarez; brother, Thomas De Luna; and great grandsons, Michael and Nathan. She is survived and will be greatly missed by her sons, Cruz, John, Roland, Joel, Juan and Joseph; 28 grandchildren; 47 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren; and many more family and friends.

Eloysa wholly believed in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and her life manifested that belief. She was devoted to her children and she was always ready, with open arms, to welcome her grandchildren and great grandchildren. God granted her the opportunity to embrace her great great grandchildren. Her resonating voice was an asset as a singer, beautifully singing praises to the Lord up to her final days. Eloysa will fondly be remembered for her faithful prayers every night for all her loved ones. She wanted them all to experience the hope of Jesus as she had.

A Celebration Service for Eloysa Mota will be held at 10:00 A.M., Saturday, April 5, 2025, at LaGrone Blackburn-Shaw Funeral Home, located at 1505 Martin Road, Amarillo, Texas.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”

Psalm 121:1-2
