Presilia Granado

Presilia Granado, 90, of Rogers passed away on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016, at a Temple hospital.  

Presilia was born Jan. 4, 1926, in Edinburg, to Cesaria Torres and Emiliano Montalbo. The youngest of five, Presilia and her brothers Adolfo, Bartolo, Jesus and Manuel Montalbo grew up in Buckholts and were raised on a farm as her family were sharecroppers.  

She married Rosalio Granado in 1945. Shortly after, Rosalio and Presilia planted a church in Rogers. She had three children, John Angel, Maggie and Alberto.  

She is preceded in death by John Angel and her husband Rosalio Granado.  

A hard-working mother of two, she continued to pastor the small church in Rogers for many years. After retiring, she remained active in the church where she loved to sing.  She loved working on her yard, visiting with people, and shopping. Presilia loved spending time with her family and friends. One of her favorite games was playing dominoes as she was very competitive.  

She is survived by her daughter, Maggie Trevino of Irving, and her son, Alberto Granado of Holland. She had four grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.    

Marek-Burns-Laywell Funeral Home of Cameron is in charge of arrangements.
