Virginia Montoya Wiseman, of Waco, Texas, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2026, at 2:36 a.m., at the age of 82. She was born on March 14, 1944, in Asa, Texas.

Virginia was a hardworking woman who lived life with a strong spirit and a love for the people around her. She loved to dance, enjoyed having a drink, and cherished spending time with her family and friends. She had a special place in her heart for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Some of Virginia’s most treasured moments were spent with her granddaughter, Aiyana Nevaeh Cuffee, whom she loved reading books to. She also always looked forward to Rashad Datrun Cuffee getting home from school. These simple moments became beautiful memories that her family will carry with them forever.

Virginia’s final days were made comfortable and memorable through the loving care of Brandy Loredo and Shanta Hannibal with Halo Hospice.

She is survived by her children, Abel Ochoa and Rita Ochoa Shaver; her grandchildren, Vera Virginia Cuffee, Roy Don Shaver Jr., Sherry Sue Shaver, Lisa Ann Ochoa, and Abel Joe Ochoa; her brothers, Jesus Montoya, Ruben Montoya, and Johnny Montoya; several great-grandchildren; and numerous family members and friends who loved her dearly.

Virginia will be deeply missed, but the memories she created and the love she gave will remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
