Mary M. Costilla was born on October 6, 1948 to Jesus H. Costilla and Selestina Martinez in Midland, Texas. She was the seventh of nine children born to the couple. She attended school at Austin Junior High in Midland, Texas and went on to graduate from a little country school named Flower Grove High School near Patricia, Texas in May 1969.
Mary went to work after graduation for Levi Strauss, Texas Plastics and Texas Instruments. She held her last job as a seamstress making drapes and curtains from a home-based operation. Due to her health she resorted to sewing small odds and ends from home for whomever needed it. Mary was for most of her life a jolly person who loved to sing and to be social. She loved dominoes, cards, bingo and beating her brother Joe at all three. She loved being a grandma to neighborhood children and stray dogs.
She leaves behind two very loving and loyal chihuahuas, Pepe and Prieta that were very protective of her, she would have loved to have more if it was allowed. Mary was loved by many and will be deeply missed.
Mary is survived by one brother, John Costilla of Midland, Texas; three sisters, Evelyn Garza of San Angelo, Texas, Helen Costilla, and Victoria Saul both of Midland, Texas.
A memorial service is set for 2:00 pm, Monday, January 27, 2025 at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home Chapel.
