Airalih A. Ortiz

Airalih A. "Lilly" Ortiz, 15, of Los Fresnos, TX, was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven on April 22, 2018.

Lilly was a sophomore at Los Fresnos United.  She was a fun, loving young lady with a huge smile that brightened every room she entered.  Although she was quiet and shy to others, those who knew her knew her zest for life and her caring heart. One of Lilly’s greatest joys was spending time with her siblings and making them laugh. Her life was a blessing to so many; her memories will forever be treasured with everyone that loved her.

She is preceded in death by her brother, Andres Montes.

Left to treasure her memory are her parents, Jose A. Ortiz, Hilaria Montes; brothers, Adrian Montes, Jose A. Ortiz, Jr., Little Andres A. Ortiz; sisters, Anna L. Ortiz, Sarah A. Ortiz; and, countless family and friends.

Visitation will be held on Friday, April 27, 2018 from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM with the recitation of the Holy Rosary at 7:00 PM at San Benito Funeral Home.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at St. Cecilia Church Catholic in Los Fresnos, TX.  Lilly will be laid to rest at Los Cuates Cemetery following the funeral mass.

The Ortiz family would like to thank the faculty and staff of Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District and San Benito Funeral Home for their outpouring of love and compassion during this difficult time.

Arrangements have been entrusted to San Benito Funeral Home, 1400 W. Business 77, San Benito, Texas.  (956) 361-9192 www.sanbenitofuneralhome.com
