Obituary

Ana Maria Lamazares, 52, passed away after an 18-year courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, October 06, 2015 in Carrollton, Texas, and was surrounded with love and adoration by her beloved family. Ana was born to Humberto and Nerida Lamazares on January 18, 1963 in Havana, Cuba. She is survived by her daughter Jessica Marie Emmons and future son-in-law Peter Edwin Slocombe; parents Humberto and Nerida Lamazares; brother Humberto Pablo Lamazares; sister Silvia Maria Lamazares Brozak and her brother-in-law Daniel Edward Brozak; niece Emmy Alyse Brozak; uncle and aunt Santiago and Caridad Lamazares; numerous cousins; and a very dear extended family member Maria Diaz Ritchie. Ana graduated 4th in her class out of 435 students from Newman Smith High School in 1981; she was a member of the National Honor Society and was affiliated with the NSHS Troyanns Drill Team. After graduating with high honors, she went off to study at the University of Texas at Arlington. She was passionate and supportive of the arts, with a fondness for Impressionistic paintings, sculptures and dance. Ana was a devout Catholic, and found that Mary Immaculate Catholic Church was her home away from home. She enjoyed going to daily mass with her adoring mother, Nerida, discovering motivating, religious literature, and she cherished the rosary group in which she made lifelong friends. Ana was a selfless, kind and loving individual, who would go out of her way to help others in need. She was a nurturing mother, a devoted daughter, a caring sister, a fun aunt and a wonderful friend. Her daughter, Jessica, was her life, and she did everything in her ability to make her daughter’s dreams come to fruition. Ana was adored by many and was a true inspiration to all the lives she touched. A celebration of the life and legacy of Ana will be held at Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, 2800 Valwood Pkwy. Farmers Branch, TX on Wednesday, October 14th, 2015. Father Zachary Webb, Celebrant. 9:30am recitation of the Rosary, 10:00am Mass. Interment to follow at the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Columbarium. Reception held at the Parish Hall. Arrangements under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    I just heard. I had no idea.

    One of the sweetest girls I ever knew.

    My heart goes out to Mr and Mrs Lamazares, my dear friend and Classmate Humberto, and to Silvia (who is maybe too young to remember me)

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
