Lazaro Gonzalez was a Sportsman who enjoyed most sporting events. He enjoyed and played Softball until recently. He was a Baseball and Football fan. He followed his sons from the farm league fields in Odessa to the Baseball Diamond at Permian High, and the Pop Warner football fields at the Odessa Boys Club, to the gridiron at Ratliff Stadium. Recently he had been following his only granddaughter on the softball diamonds all over Texas. His love of sports was matched only by his love for his family.
He made many friends along the way, on the baseball diamonds, football fields, basketball courts, in the stands, and on the sidelines. From the kids he helped coach and their parents, to his past teammates and their families. He loved them all! Our Lazaro, loved to win, and of course hated to lose, but the biggest winners are his family and friends who shared him, loved him, played with him, won and lost with him, laughed and cried with him, and most importantly lived life with him.
He was helped by God, that’s what his name means. He shared his years with the love of his life, his wife Maria, who also shared his love of athletics with him. Along with his family and friends, there is a special group of girls that loves him very much, The Odessa Angels Softball Team. They will all miss his presence, as they continue in their playing careers. There are two little ones that he didn’t get to see compete on the fields. We are all sure they will make us all proud in the years to come. God Bless Our Lazaro Gonzalez, as he has blessed our lives.
Love, Family, Friends, & Odessa Angels Softball.

Petra Molinar Lopez
Odessa - Petra Lopez, longtime resident of Kermit departed this earthly world on Saturday, July 15, 2006 at Seabury Nursing Center in Odessa. She was born Wednesday, December 14, 1910 in La Haciendita, Texas, to Silverio and Raquel (Montes) Molinar. She was 95.
A loving mother and grandmother, Petra loved to cook and was good at it. Although her tortillas, not always perfectly round and usually ending up looking like road maps with holes in them, they were still the best. In her younger days, she would get on the floor with the grandchildren and make clay animals.
Petra was a jokester, always pulling some type of joke on an unsuspecting soul. There was a tender, loving side to her also, like the time she gave the grandkids a penny for each gray hair they pulled out of her head — knowing all along it was oftentimes the same hair. Or the smile she hid when she found that one of the grandsons had used her best Sunday-go-to-meeting shoes to play football in.
Petra was dearly loved by all. Her passing will leave a hole in everyone’s hearts. Those left behind to cherish her love and memories are five sons, Joe “Sonny” Lopez and wife, Esther of Kermit, Eddie Lopez of Midland, Palermo Jay Lopez and wife, Luli of Azle, Texas, Freddie Don Lopez and wife, Cindy of Houston and Roland Lopez and wife, Sara of Odessa and one daughter, Pauline Lopez of Odessa. Petra also leaves behind eighteen grandchildren, Barbara Munoz, Benny Lopez, Harold Lopez, Melinda White, Brenda Denton, Norma Abila, Eddie Lopez, Sylvia Clark, Trey Lopez, Marco Lopez, Michael Lopez, Jake Lopez, Roland Lopez, Jr, Ariana Lopez, Matthew Lopez, Annette Armijo, Debra Millholland and Karen Evans, thirty great grandchildren and ten great-great grandchildren.
Petra was preceded in death by her husband, Pale on December 20, 1996. She was also preceded in death by four brothers, Sabino Aguirre, Rafael Aguirre, Jesus Molinar and Justo Molinar and four sisters, Rebecca Aguirre, Raquel Aguirre, Lupe Molinar and Hermana Venegas and one grandson, Zayd Munoz.
Pallbearers are her grandsons, Benny Lopez, Eddie Lopez, Marco Lopez, Michael Lopez, Roland Lopez, Jr, Harold Lopez, Trey Lopez and Brannock Snelgrove. Honorary Pallbearers are the remainder of her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
Rosary was scheduled for 7 pm, Monday, July 17, 2006 at Acres West Funeral Chapel. Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for 2 pm, Tuesday, July 18, 2006 at St Mary’s Church in Odessa with Father Francis Frey as celebrant. Interment will follow at Rosehill cemetery.
