Beatrice "Bea" Gomez, 61, entered into eternal rest on Friday, July 31, 2026.

Known affectionately as "Bea" to all who loved her, she was born on February 23, 1965 in Sinton, Texas to Federico and Maria (Arroyo) Orta. A proud member of the Sinton High School Class of 1983, Bea carried the values of hard work, compassion and dedication with her throughout her life.

For many years, Bea served as a manager at McDonald's, currentlyin Robstown, where she became much more than a familiar face. She welcomed everyone with a radiant smile, genuine kindness and an unforgettable warmth that could brighten even the hardest day. To her customers and coworkers, she was a source of encouragement and joy. She had a rare gift for making every person she met feel important, appreciated and truly seen. Her generous heart, infectious laughter and unwavering compassion left a lasting impression on countless lives.

While Bea touched the lives of many, nothing meant more to her than her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother and an adoring grandmother whose greatest happiness came from spending time with her children and grandchildren. She poured her heart into those she loved, always offering unwavering support, unconditional love and words of encouragement. Her home was a place of comfort, laughter and togetherness, and her family will forever cherish the memories they created with her.

She is preceded in death by her beloved son, Issac Maldonado; her parents, Federico and Maria Orta; her sister, Gloria Orta; and her brother, Federico Orta Jr.

Left to cherish her beautiful memory are her loving husband, Rene Gomez Jr.; her daughter, Cassandra Rodriguez; her sons, Patrick Maldonado and Christopher Moreno; her cherished nine grandsons and four granddaughters; her brothers, Gerardo Orta and Fernando Orta; her sisters, Mary Ann Orta, Velma Moreno, Dora Arredondo, Mercedes Espinoza and Anita Moreno; her lifelong best friend, Mary Molina; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and dear friends whose lives were forever enriched by her love.

Though her presence will be deeply missed, Bea's legacy of kindness, generosity and unconditional love will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her smile, her laughter and the love she so freely gave will never be forgotten.
