Concepcion "Concha" Gonzalez

Concepcion “Concha” Menchaca Gonzalez of Seguin, Texas was welcomed into her Heavenly Home on April 22, 2023, at the age of 88 surrounded by family. She was born on May 10, 1934, in McQueeney, Texas to Jose Maria Menchaca Sr. and Francisca Dominguez Menchaca.

Concha, as she was known by everyone, was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.  She was proud member of the Guadalupanas at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church for many years. She and her husband Bernabe “BB” were long time members of the American Legion. In the early years, she loved to sing with her husband as he played the guitar. She also loved putting on her dance shoes and going to dances on the weekend as she and her husband were often asked to sing. One of the things that Concha was most proud of was when she sang at Noche De Gala. She also loved going on convention trips with her husband. She was devoted and hard-working woman who loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them. She never had any daughters and would always say that Anna, Destiny, and Jayana Gonzalez were her daughters. Her grandson Jesse Jr. was also like a son to her, and her granddaughter Destiny was her number one and her everything. Concha was a loving and very sweet woman, and she was loved by everyone who had the opportunity to meet her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
