Yvonne Reyes

In Loving Memory & with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter & sister Yvonne "Dancing Queen" Reyes of Alpine, TX, on July 5, 2024, in El Paso, TX at the age of 59 after a courageous battle with cancer. 

Yvonne was born in Van Horn, TX on October 21, 1964. She never gave up on her faith to the Lord, stating, "Miracles do happen". In the end, the cancer spread rapidly to where the treatments were not effective. We thank her team of doctors & medical staff for their efforts at the University Medical Center of El Paso.
