Janie Gallegos Obituary (1955 - 2022)

Janie Gallegos went to be with the Lord on Friday, March 11, 2022. Janie Gallegos was born on June 23, 1955, in Houston, Texas. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 42 years, John "Tony" Gallegos, and her parents Nicolasa Martinez and Desidoro Lopez. Janie is survived by - Her son Danny, wife Michelle, their children Corbin, Danielle, Kaylin, Brookelynn, Lanna, and Kirsti husband Zachary and their child Kleopatra; Her son David Aguilar wife Jennifer, their children Samuel, Preston, David-Valentine, and Dustin; Her son Jesse; Her daughter Andrea husband David, their fur-children CeCe, Sally, Smokey, Zero, Hazel, Sweetie and their foster child Mrs. Norris; and Janie's youngest daughter Christie Renee and children John, Avante, and Chayna. Janie loved spending time with her family! One of her favorite things to do was go fishing with her son Jesse. She also enjoyed cooking and eating the fish they caught together and watching TV with the family afterward... Many nights you could find her watching "Charmed" with her grandson John, or Lord of the Rings with her son-in-law David. Janie was a great cook and known for her amazing meals like her homemade tortillas, carne guisada, fideo, and frijoles; fried catfish/chicken, meatloaf, fajita rolls, and cornbread. But her daughter-in-law Michelle will dearly miss, "the best hamburgers in the world." Janie's true passion was plants and flowers! She had two green thumbs and could grow anything. During the great Texas freeze, she thought she lost all of her plants but she trimmed off the bad parts, nurtured the good, encouraged them to grow, showed them love, and they not only survived - they thrived! "This is a lot like what Jesus does for us if we will let Him.", she once said. Janie loves flowers and bright colors. Her request was NO BLACK at her funeral, she wants everyone to wear bright vibrant colors. She wants to look down from heaven and see rows of color as flowers in a field, so if you cry, you can water a beautiful garden, not some dark hardened ground. Janie was a strong Christian woman of faith, and she would readily invite anyone in to talk about God. She was a smart woman and extremely well-read for someone who only had an elementary education as she taught herself to read - by reading the Bible. A good friend, sister, aunt, grandmother, wife, and MOTHER, Janie's passing will leave a massive hole in our hearts that only the love of God can fill. If she were here right now, she would ask: "If you died right now, do you know for certain if you would go to Heaven?"
