Mrs. Hilda Quillermina Valencia, 69

Mrs. Hilda Quillermina Valencia, 69, of Hazlehurst passed away April 18 at Jeff Davis Hospital under the care of Coastal Hospice.
Mrs. Valencia was born Jan. 27, 1955, in Colima, Mexico.
She is preceded in death by her parents Anastacio Valencia and Consuelo Ochoa and her grandson, Rikki Zuniga.
She retired from Jeff Davis Hospital after many years of service and was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church.
Mrs. Hilda was a very strong-willed individual, very hard-working, self-sufficient, never asked anyone for anything. She loved her family dearly and always enjoyed traveling to visit them.
She was a great cook; an avid gardener and she really took pride in her possessions. She was a witty person, lived life to the fullest, and was always making her family laugh. She had a special, one-of-a-kind son-in-law, that she was crazy about, simply because he was the ONLY son-in-law she had.
Survivors include her husband Jose Angel Palmeros of Hazlehurst; daughters and son-in-law Hilda A. Delamora, Gnselda Delamora and Esmeralda (Tino) Torres all of Hazlehurst; son and daughter-in-law Gilberto and Reyna Delamora of Illinois; brothers Jesus Valencia and Ramario Valencia both of Mexico; sisters, Maria Morales and Maria Valencia both of Mexico; grandchildren, Jackelyn, Cristian, Angelina, Bianca, Emily, Michael and Justin; great-grandson Tristan; several nieces and nephews.
Services were held April 22 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church with Father Rafael Estrada officiating. Interment followed at Hazlehurst Memorial Cemetery.
Active pallbearers were Tino Torres, Cristian Torres, Justin Torres, Michael Delamora, Gilberto Delamora and Angel Palmeros.
Wainright-Parlor Funeral Home was in charge.
