MayDell Lydia Lopez

Born December 15, 1936, to Monroe Schuhmann and Alma Schroder Schumann in Houston, Texas. She was the 7th of 8 of Monroe’s children. She died on Thursday, November 3, 2022. May married Robert Lopez on September 4, 1964, and began their life together in Port Arthur, Texas. May and Robert celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary this past September. May will be remembered for her compassion for her husband, children, grandchildren, daughter-in-laws, and son-in-law, and family members, and her working with others who need prayers and her loving concern. May stayed home with her small children and then later worked as a secretary for many years. However, she enjoyed her time with her family most of all. The family enjoyed spending time together, family vacations, fishing, water skiing, and camping. May also enjoyed dancing, sewing, and baking with the kids and grandkids. She loved and encouraged them to follow what they enjoyed doing. Her favorite quote was “well, you can do that!” She and Robert raised the children at Advent Lutheran Church in Houston. She and Robert demonstrated the importance of serving God in church. She and Robert have been active in different church ministries throughout her life. In her retirement years, May and Robert moved to Willis, TX and attended Grace Lutheran Church where they served those in need and even volunteered as greeters until COVID sent them to church online. She always enjoyed celebrating the holidays with her family. It really did not matter what holiday it was, it was her goal to get her kids and grandchildren together. It really did not matter, birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, 4th of July, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and even Donut Appreciation Day if it would get the kids together. She is survived by her husband: Robert Lopez (Plano, TX), brother: J.E. Schuhmann (St. George, UT), sister-in-law: Hilda Lopez (Beaumont, TX), children: Charles and wife Angela Lopez (Christiana, TN), Robert Paul and wife Jennifer Lopez (Christiana, TN), and Stacey and husband Andrew Hascoe (Plano, TX). She also has many grandchildren: Justin Lopez and Amanda Jeffcoat (Chireno, TX), Chelsea Lopez (North Port, AL), Harrison Hascoe and Gabrielle Berkenfeld (NY, NY); Douglas Hascoe (New York, NY); William Hascoe (New York,NY); Megan and Salvator Meja (Conroe, TX); Logan and Megan Lopez (Nashville, TX); Riley Lopez and Luis Falvio Vital (San Antonio, TX); Taylor Brooke Hascoe ( Los Angeles, CA), Nathan Lopez and Morgan Hawes (Christiana, TN); Anna Ruth and Malachi Loper (Alto, TX); Joshua Hascoe (Plano, TX). great-grandchildren: Eli, Hanna, Noah, Zelena, Cash, Myla, Isabella, and Beckham. There are also many cousins, nieces, and nephews. She will be loved and missed by all.
