Nora G. Pompa


Nora Gonzalez Pompa, 58, beloved wife, mother, and sister, entered into eternal and peaceful rest in Houston, Texas surrounded by her family.

Nora was born and raised in Brownsville to the late Mariano and Natividad Gonzalez.

Nora will be remembered for her smile, good spirits and love for her extended family. She often complimented and always provided great advice to those in need. She especially liked spending time with her great nephews, movie dates with her family and having everyone over for her annual Easter, and New Year’s celebration.

Nora is survived by her childhood sweetheart and husband of the last forty years, Leo, her pride and joy Leo Daniel and Michelle P. Fernandez (Wilfrido), her brothers Noe Gonzalez, Mariano Gonzalez (Chris), her sisters Aurora De La Garza (Jose Luis) and Obdelia “Oby†Leal (Guadalupe).  She was preceded in death by her son, Leobardo Jr., her parents Mariano and Natividad, her sister, Grace Duval, and her brothers, Jesus “Chuy†Gonzalez, Arturo Gonzalez, and Eddie Gonzalez.

    Michelle and the rest of the Pompa family, my deepest condolences to you all. Mrs. Pompa will always be remembered in my mind as a caring and kind lady, who was very supportive of her daughter, her daughters teammates and the coaches her daughter played for. May God bring you all strength during this very difficult time.
