Julia Trevino Alvarez passed away peacefully on August 13, 2026 after a long illness. She was 60 years old.

Julia was born on July 23, 1966 in Three Rivers, Texas to Adela (Licon) and Jesus Trevino. A lifelong resident of Taft, Julia was the only daughter in a family filled with brothers. She was truly a princess in every sense of the word, lovingly cherished and always looked after by her parents and brothers.

Julia was a familiar and welcoming face in the Taft community. As the owner and operator of Dairy Queen, she greeted countless residents with courtesy, kindness and her beautiful smile. She was well known and loved by her patrons, many of whom knew her not only as a business owner, but as a friend. Julia later continued serving her community as a paraprofessional with Taft ISD.

Above all else, Julia was a devoted and loving mother to her only son, Daniel. He was the center of her world, and she dedicated herself to making his life the very best it could be. Her love for Daniel was unwavering, and she took great pride in being his mother.

Julia will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, beautiful smile and the love she gave so freely to her family, friends and community. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue through all those fortunate enough to have known her.

Left to cherish Julia’s memory are her beloved husband, Demetrio Alvarez, Jr.; her son, Daniel Trevino, both from Taft, Texas; brothers, Andres Trevino (Deanna) from Gulfport, MS; Victor Trevino (Indira) from Houston; Alfredo Trevino (Denise) from Taft; Roberto Trevino (Patricia) from Houston; David Trevino (Crystal) from Portland; Jose Luis Trevino (Monica) from Taft; sisters-in-law, Mary Esther Salinas (Joe) from Taft; Melissa A. Cadriel (Roland Jr.) from Gregory; brothers-in-law, Bernardo Alvarez from Taft, Ray Alvarez (Norma) from Taft; Jesus Alvarez (Kaye) from Corpus Christi; and extended family members and friends.
