Raquel Mendoza, 50, of Amarillo, Texas passed away on April 25, 2026.
Rosary will be said at 6:00 P.M., Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in the Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel. Mass will be at 11:00 A.M., Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2800 Paramount Blvd.
Raquel was born in Chihuahua, Mexico on August 23, 1975, to Esther Barrandey and Jesus Mendoza. Raquel Mendoza was a devoted wife, mother, and woman of faith who dedicated her life to caring for her family. She was married to her loving husband, Arturo Lopez, and together they built a home filled with love, warmth, and compassion. As a stay-at-home wife and mother, Raquel poured her heart into raising her two sons, Luis Lopez and Alexis Lopez, always putting their needs above her own.
Raquel was known for being loving, caring, sweet, sincere, and truly beautiful inside and out. She found her greatest joy in spending time with her family and staying close to her faith through church. Her presence brought comfort, guidance, and unconditional love to those around her.
She often reminded her sons that she would not always be there to cook for them, asking what they would do without her one day—a reflection of both her nurturing spirit and the deep love she had for her family. Those words now serve as a lasting memory of her care, devotion, and the irreplaceable role she held in their lives.
Raquel’s love will continue to live on through her family, and she will be deeply missed. She will always be remembered by her friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her father, Jesus Mendoza.
She is survived by her husband, Arturo Lopez; sons, Alexis Lopez and Luis Lopez; mother, Esther Barrandey; sister, Carmen Mendoza; brother, Joaquin Mendoza; brother, Alfonzo Mendoza; sister, Albina Mendoza; sister, Elvira Mendoza; brother, Tomas Mendoza; and brother, Omar Rodrigo Mendoza.

Raquel nació en Chihuahua, México, el 23 de agosto de 1975, hija de Esther Barrandey y Jesús Mendoza.
Raquel Mendoza fue una esposa, madre y mujer de fe dedicada, que entregó su vida al cuidado de su familia. Estuvo casada con su amado esposo, Arturo López, y juntos construyeron un hogar lleno de amor, calidez y compasión. Como ama de casa y madre, Raquel dedicó su corazón a la crianza de sus dos hijos, Luis López y Alexis López, siempre poniendo las necesidades de ellos antes que las suyas.
Raquel era conocida por ser amorosa, cariñosa, dulce, sincera y hermosa por dentro y por fuera. Encontraba su mayor alegría en pasar tiempo con su familia y en mantenerse cerca de su fe asistiendo a la iglesia. Su presencia brindaba consuelo, guía y amor incondicional a todos los que la rodeaban.
Con frecuencia les recordaba a sus hijos que no siempre estaría ahí para cocinarles, preguntándoles qué harían sin ella algún día—un reflejo de su espíritu tan entregado y del profundo amor que sentía por su familia. Esas palabras ahora quedan como un recuerdo eterno de su cuidado, dedicación y del papel irremplazable que tuvo en sus vidas.
El amor de Raquel vivirá para siempre en su familia, y será profundamente extrañada. Siempre será recordada por sus familiares y amigos.
Le precedió en la muerte su padre, Jesús Mendoza.
Le sobreviven su esposo, Arturo López; sus hijos, Alexis López y Luis López; su madre, Esther Barrandey; sus hermanos, Joaquín Mendoza, Alfonso Mendoza, Tomás Mendoza y Omar Rodrigo Mendoza; y sus hermanas, Carmen Mendoza, Albina Mendoza y Elvira Mendoza.
