Consuelo Ruiz - October 16, 1934 - April 19, 2022

Departed: 04/19/2022 (Laredo)

Obituary Preview: Consuelo Ruiz, 87, joined our Lord in His heavenly kingdom on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.

Not all women were meant to bear children. God created others with a different purpose; to serve as a mother to her siblings and every single one of her nieces and nephews. Chelo was our mother, grandmother, aunt, advisor, mentor, and many a time our disciplinarian. She radiated constant love to her family and all felt the need to seek her for prayers, compassion, and hope. Her love for children was always evident as she helped rear three generations of nieces and nephews. She loved them fiercely, but never backed down from throwing a “chancla” or two. She was the ultimate matriarch. Consuelo was incredibly devoted to her faith and to children. She taught bible classes and catechism at San Martin de Porres Church. She joined pilgrimages to Mexico with the Brothers of Saint John and participated in faith and sharing. Chelo also belonged to the Catholic Daughters and served as a Eucharistic Minister for Holy Family Church. Her love of God transferred to the children she taught at Sister Imelda Mercy Child Care Center, where she was affectionately known as “Teacher Chelo.”

Although she left a large void in our hearts, we know that our family who has gone before her is rejoicing, dancing, singing, and toasting her welcome. She is preceded in death by her parents, Florencio and Enriqueta Ruiz, her brother Eduardo (Lupita+) Ruiz, and sister, Beatrice (Jack +) Trainor.

Left to continue her legacy are her siblings, Florencio (Irma +) Ruiz, Chita (Gilbert +) Mayorga, Virginia (Francisco +) Trevino, Berta (Mario) De La Rosa, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Most importantly, the family is in tremendous debt to our Tia Chita, who never left her Chelito’s side for the last 25 years. Her love and constant devotion has left an incredible footprint in our lives. To know them is to see love.

The family will be receiving condolences on Friday evening, April 22, 2022 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Joe Jackson North Funeral Chapels & Cremation Services, 1410 Jacaman Rd.; where a Vigil for the Deceased and Rosary will commence at 7 p.m.

Funeral Services will be conducted on Saturday morning, April 23, 2022 where everyone will be meeting at Holy Family Catholic Church for a Mass of Christian Burial at 9 a.m.

The Pallbearers will be: Florencio Ruiz III, Mario A. De La Rosa Jr., Adan J. García, Diego N. García, Ricardo R. Ruiz and Christopher A. Leal.

Honorary Pallbearers: Kevin D. Trainor, Jon Trainor, Michael Trainor, George Ruiz, Roberto Trevino, Francisco Trevino and Richard Trevino.

The family would like to extend their most heartfelt gratitude to: Dr. Garza Lozano and the staff at Las Alturas for their continuous care of our beloved Tia.

Nora Lee Notzon - September 12, 1933 - March 17, 2022

Departed: 03/17/2022 (Laredo)

Obituary Preview: NORA LEE HAYNES NOTZON September 12, 1933 - March 17, 2022

The adored Nora Lee Haynes Notzon, 88, entered peacefully into eternal rest at her home on Thursday, March 17, 2022, surrounded by the love and prayers of her loving family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and servant of God.

Mrs. Notzon was born to James Haynes, Sr. and Maria Luisa Ostos Haynes on September 12, 1933, in Laredo, Texas. She graduated from Our Lady of The Lake High School and Our Lady of the Lake University with a Bachelor of Music in 1957. She sang in the school’s choral group and played in the school’s Philharmonic Orchestra.

Throughout her life she was a pillar of the Laredo community and was active in civic, charitable, and social clubs. An accomplished pianist, harpist, organist, violinist and singer, she played the organ every Sunday for 19 years at the Laredo Air Force Base Catholic Church, St. Peter’s Catholic Church and Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, and for nearly 20 years she played piano for the Kiwanis, Rotary and Optimist Noon clubs. She also taught music at every elementary school in the Laredo Independent School District for 37 years, where she touched and inspired countless lives. Mrs. Notzon was a charter member and first President of the Jaycee-ettes. She was also a member of the Tuesday Music and Literature Club, Cotillion Club, Texas Music Educators and Philharmonic Orchestra Society.

Mrs. Notzon was a woman of profound faith and was active in her church. She served on the board of St. Patrick's Church and was a member of the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Oblature of the Congregation of St. John and a “Cursillista”.

She also served The Society of Martha Washington and was honored to portray the role of our Founding First President’s Wife, Martha Dandridge Washington, in 1993 at the society’s celebrations.

Mrs. Notzon served as a Trustee of the Haynes Mineral Trust. She and her siblings were instrumental in the realization of the James and Maria Luisa Haynes Health and Wellness Center as a tribute to their parents and the James Haynes Industrial Park on Loop 20 and Highway 59. She also found time to pursue the management of her own property business.

Despite her many other accomplishments and interests, the crowning glory of her life was her family. Mrs. Notzon married the love of her life, Honorable Judge Marcel Carroll Notzon, II, in 1961. Together, they set a shining example to their six children and seventeen grandchildren of religious devotion, loyalty, hard-work, and respect for others. She instilled in each of them a profound love for God, steadfast faith, love of family and friends, spirit of gratitude and an unwavering positive mindset always seeing the best in life and in others. She cultivated their love for learning, reading, music, dance, sports, travel, adventure, laughter, celebrations, community and helping others. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. Mrs. Notzon had also recently learned the thrilling news that she was soon to become a great-grandmother.

She was preceded in death by her adored husband, The Honorable Judge Marcel Carroll Notzon, II; parents, former City Secretary, James Haynes Sr. and mother, Maria Luisa Ostos Haynes; brothers, Richard E. “Dicky” Haynes, Robert G. “Bobby” Haynes, James “Jimmy” Haynes, Jr., and Bernard Notzon.

He touched the lives of many businesses and individuals with his wit, intelligence, and charismatic personality. Donato’s spirit of kindness and humor was often portrayed in his advertisements. Donato’s work was a reflection of who he was. A man that enjoyed making people smile and laugh by doing impressions, telling jokes, and projecting his voice upon greeting a friend. He was a man who wore many hats. He had a heart filled with love he was always willing to share, and he was a friend to all that knew him. Donato L. Volpe Jr, we love you and we will miss you dearly.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents Donato and Dolores Volpe, and brother Daniel Volpe.
