~Natalie Juarez~

YOAKUM: Natalie Nicole Juarez, 34, passed away on Monday June 29, 2026. She was born on August 8, 1991, in Yoakum, Texas to Juanita Colunga Garza. Natalie was a stay at home mom. She was a creator, she loved to create and design her own products whether it be making birthday decorations for her daughters’ birthday parties, designing clothing for their school themes or homecoming mums, and making scrapbooks for her loved ones. Natalie enjoyed spending time at home with Audryna and Leandra playing board games, watching movies, talking about her childhood memories and laughing the night away. She dedicated her life to her babies. They meant the world to her and she would not change that for anything. She grew up loving to dance, until this day dancing was something she did often at home, turning up the music, dancing around her home and enjoying life. Her love for her friends and family was undeniable. She made sure she called her loved ones every day to check on their wellbeing. Natalie’s favorite flower was sunflowers. She loved her plant (Abby) that was given to her by her beloved friend Esther Douglas. She took care of that plant as it was a symbol of their friendship they had together. Natalie enjoyed cooking and recipe experimenting. Most of all she loved spending time with her family, whether it be family gatherings for holidays, dinners with her siblings, or taking family trips with her Aunt Pam and cousin Lori. Anytime she was able to spend quality time with family, she would not miss a beat.

Natalie is survived by her daughters, Audryna Renae Mesa (14) and Leandra Marie Hernandez (8); brothers, Albert Garza (Aurora Dominguez) and Carlos Garza; sister, Cecilia Garza; niece Alexia Garza; nephews, Xavier Garza, Bradley Garza, and Elyas Garza, all of Yoakum; great nephews, Jacinto Garza and Santiago Garza.
