Angelica Barraza Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Angelica Maria Barraza, 50, of Round Rock, Texas peacefully made her transition to heaven on Thursday, October 3, 2013 after a tough battle with a severe illness. Born in Tlahualilo, Durango Mexico, on July 23rd 1963, she was the baby of 12 children and was very loved by her brothers and sister. She enjoyed a family oriented life and had a passion for learning which included a fascination of the world beyond her small town. At the age of 21 she gave birth to her first child, a daughter named after her, and two years later to her first son, Jose. With her small children along her side and big dreams for them she decided to join her brothers in the United States and pursue the American dream. In 1992 she was married to Phillip Jarmula, a wonderful and caring man, and a year later they welcomed their son, Anthony. In 1995 the family of five moved to Austin, Texas and in 1998 they bought their first home in Round Rock where they would permanently settle. Angelica spent many years in the restaurant industry where she moved up to management but never lost her humbleness and willingness to help others. She was admired by many of her employees and despite the many hours she worked, always made time for her family and ensured they had everything they needed. She obtained her phlebotomist certification and transitioned out of the restaurant business, but most importantly reached a lifetime goal of receiving her bachelor?s degree in 2011 from Ashford University with a major in Psychology. Always being committed to her family, Angelica enjoyed cooking and hosting parties at her home, travelling with her husband, and spending time with her grandson, ?Joaquincito?. She was a very selfless woman, always putting herself last and helping her loved ones whenever she could. She is preceded in death by her father, Ignacio Barraza, brothers Antonio, Armando, Armando (Guero), and Santiago Barraza. She is survived and deeply missed by her husband, Phillip Jarmula, daughter Angelica Jarmula, sons, Jose and Anthony Jarmula, and grandchildren Joaquin Cashwell and baby brother on the way. She is also survived by her mother Amada Favela, sister Carmela Barraza, brothers Ruben, Samuel, Tomas, Jorge, Mario, and Ignacio Barraza, numerous nieces and nephews whom loved her like a sister, and several great nieces and nephews whom also loved and miss her greatly. We weren?t ready to let you go but we are grateful you are in a better place, free of pain, and one day we will see your beautiful face again.
