BREAKING: THE MATRIARCH, MARY YTURRIA, DEAD AT 97

(Ed.'s Note: Word has reached us that Mary Yturria, called Brownsville's Godmother (La Madrina de Brownsville) died today just after noon. She celebrated her 97th birthday May 17, 2022 above with now-District 38 State Rep. Erin Gamez, City of Brownsville commissioner Roy De Los Santos and a contingent of Brownsville Police Department officers.

Yturria was known to send batches of tamales to the officers at the Jackson Street station and to the other two substations. She is also credited with helping the department acquire the property where the main police administration offices are located.

No one is above the law.

No one lives forever.

No one gets out of here alive.

No one.


(Not that I have any idea who this woman is, or was, btw)

Me emociono y se me van las manos hacia ella. Ayudeme, senor, que no quiero ser pecador. La tentacion me agarra y.......

Is that cop next to Gamez Capt. Bob? Looks very much like him. Bald and chubby, shit-eatin' grin on his face, like he's thinking of turning around and planting a wet kiss on Erin. Eh, hermanos, pero como van a pensar eso? No, no le falten respeto a Miss Gamez.

Ahora, si fuera Mayra Flores.

Bueno, pues entonces estaria gratis la mosca.

All drivers go by Yturria Ranch. La Quinena, on their way to Houston. This is the lady behind all this Texas Ranch Land.

Por favor no where near. The ranch was not or never was purchased.

Those of us who knew Mrs. Yturria and had the joy of conversing with her, feel a great loss. This lady has no equal! She was such a pleasant lady and always looking for ways to help out in the City of Brownsville. She is now with her only love, Dr. Frank Yturria and it is my wish that Dorothy and Mary find consolence in knowing their Mom and Dad are together again.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Yturria, and thanks for having played an important role model for me when I was young and throughout my life.

Calle Cenizo will never be the same without her. Her sunglasses will always
represent her outlook into whatever was good

later in life, se le removio la consensia, no matter how much you give, the original sin will NEVER be undone. Lots of hispanics suffered because of their decisions they made.

No matter how much you give, how much you made, how much you want to make bad look good, YOUR ORININAL SIN WILL ALWAYS BE OWNED AND YOU HAVE TO PAY.

Are you talking about El Padre del Padercito aka Tony Martinez?

Mrs. Yturria was no where near whatever her husband's ancestors were involved in at the time that land portions were so questionable. Why do people attack her if they don't know her? She was the most wonderful and sweet lady who actually cared about helping out our community and so many people that she knew and helped.

Imagine if all of us were blamed for what one of our family members did 150 years ago. Whatever, those who developed our city were there to help out and with a goal in mind, just like everyone of us should have insight for our future. This beautiful lady always had positive thoughts and innovations and
so may she rest in peace along with her husband, Mr. Yturria.
