Consuelo (Bustamente) Meza

Consuelo Bustamante Meza, 88, a beloved mother and grandmother, peacefully passed away on
February 26, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. Born on December 23, 1936, in Asherton,
Texas, Consuelo (affectionately known as Chelo or Connie) dedicated her life to creating a warm
and nurturing home for her seven children, as well as many grandchildren and great-
grandchildren.
In search of a brighter future, Consuelo and her late husband made the bold move to Moses
Lake, following in the footsteps of many Tejano families. While settling in Moses Lake,
Consuelo gave birth to her seven children: Jimmy, Linda, Frank, Pita, Raymond, Mila, and
Daniel.
Though she lived a humble life, Consuelo's love for her family, friends, and neighbors was
immeasurable. Her home was a sanctuary, a haven where anyone was always welcome. With a
heart full of generosity, she greeted all with a warm smile and ensured no one left her home
hungry. A loyal neighbor, she was always ready to lend a hand, offering both physical and
emotional support. Consuelo had a unique gift for caring for others, and she excelled at it.
Her talents extended beyond care—she was remarkably mechanically inclined and could fix
almost anything, taking on projects big and small without hesitation.
Consuelo’s greatest joy came from spending quality time with her family, offering help to her
neighbors, and tending to her beautiful garden of flowers. Her homemade tortillas were
legendary, and her Christmas Eve celebrations were eagerly anticipated by her grandchildren,
bringing joy and togetherness to all.
Consuelo’s spirit will forever live on through the countless lives she touched with her love,
generosity, and selflessness. Consuelo is survived by her children: Linda Medina, Pita Cervantes,
Mila and Jaime Garza, Daniel and Araceli Campos, and countless grandchildren and great
grandchildren. She was proceeded in death by her parents, Eliseo and Teresa García; her sister
Aida; her sons, Jimmy, Frank, and Raymond Meza; and her grandchildren, Joey and Tina
Chavez and Isaiah Medina.
A Funeral Mass for Consuelo will be held on Thursday, March 6th, at 10:30am (rosary at
10:00am) at Our Lady of Fatima Church, followed by burial at Pioneer Memorial Cemetery. The
family warmly invites all who knew Consuelo to join them for a Celebration of Life at Restore
City Church from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory live on forever in the hearts of those she loved.
