Eloisa "Lala" Nieto
June 6, 1933 — October 23, 2012
San Benito, TX – Eloisa “Lala” Nieto, 79 entered into eternal rest on October 23, 2012 at her home in San Benito, TX. She was born June 6, 1933 to Guadalupe and Beatriz Ramirez.
She moved to San Benito from Del Valle, TX at the age of 8 when her parents decided to find farming work in this prosperous city. She traveled with family members while in her teens to work in Lubbock where she met the love of her life, Raymundo (Papo). They married 5 years later in 1955.
With minimal education she found a passion to be a businesswoman as a vendor of household goods. You could find her every weekend at the Olmito Flea Market where she sold products for over 20 years.
