Mary Vasquez Asebedo

Born on February 5th, 1954, in Waco, TX. Mary was raised in Downsville, TX, alongside four other siblings. She was always humble, appreciative, and welcoming to all. Family was the most important thing to her; including work families, where she created friendships that have lasted decades. She worked 16 years at Avery-Denison, then 24 years at MCC; before finally retiring in 2021. She loved it most when the whole family could get together. She would sit back and watch the conversations and the interactions of her adult children, nieces, and nephews; and how it taught the next generation the importance of family. Her memory will be carried on through them, in their hearts and in their stories.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, John Vasquez Sr. (Popo), and Julia Vasquez (Momo); brother, John Vasquez Jr.; sister, Vickie Gomez; and nephew Baby Patrick Vasquez.

She is survived by her sister, Lupe Perez; brother, Ben Vasquez; sons, Tony Acevedo and Jose Adam Asebedo and wife Michelle; daughter, Maria Teresa Asebedo; grandchildren; Arieous Asebedo, Victoria Asebedo, Aidan Asebedo, Alessandra Asebedo and Deziah Asebedo; family pet, Roscoe Asebedo; and great-grandchildren, Eli’Jay Powell, Asher Anderson, Karcen Asebedo, Jeremy Powell Jr., Avayah Asebedo, and one more on the way.

She passed away January 28, 2024, on her mother’s birthday. She went home to celebrate with her mom and dad. Mary, we miss you already and we love you so much.
