Angelina Reyes Marion

Angelina Reyes Marion, 85, of San Antonio, Texas passed away on Monday July 23, 2018.

Angie was born in Kingman, Kansas on October 25, 1932 adopted by the late Maria Rodriguez and Tranquilino C. Reyes. She was raised in Newton, Kansas and resided there until she met and married the love of her life, Benjamin Sanchez. They moved to Wichita, Kansas where they raised their family. Angie’s passion were her children. She was involved in their after school activities, boy scouts and campfire girls. I’m not sure what can do more for a mother’s heart than seeing other people truly love and care for their children; Angie was that special person, she was a mother to all of her children’s friends. Her love of music was passed on to her family through music lessons, band practices and school concerts. Her weeknights and weekends would be full playing an active role in their endeavors. While living in Wichita she went back to school and became a licensed vocational nurse. In 1969, the aircraft industry was booming and the family moved to Mexico City, Mexico where her husband opened the first of their fixed based operations of private and governmental aircraft service centers. During the 1970’s her children and grandchildren relocated to San Antonio, Texas and Angie’s love for her family beckoned her to relocate. She shared the experience of life, memories and stories of her parents, family and friends with each generation. To everyone who knew her, “We Love You More”

Angie was preceded in death by her parents Maria and Tranquilino Reyes, husband’s Retired Lt. Col. Louis Marion, Benjamin Sanchez, her beloved youngest daughter Debra Denise Sanchez and her adored brother Felix A. Reyes.

Survivors include her daughter Diana (Mario) Arevalo and son Benjamin (Cindy) Sanchez; five grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one great-great grandson all of San Antonio, Texas; her younger sisters, Anita Guevara of San Antonio and Tina Reyes of Newton, Ks.
