Hilda Irene Coleman Desmuke
Hilda Irene Coleman Desmuke, formerly of Galveston and Bridge City, Texas, slipped quietly into rest at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center in Webster, Texas, November 2, 2009.
Mrs. Desmuke was born July 15, 1927, in Orange, Texas, to Ada Bell Coleman and Melvin Arthur Coleman, Sr. She spent most of her life caring for her family. Later in her life, she entered the hospitality field, and at one time, owned and operated the La Louisa Restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was also a member of Ramallah Temple No 89, Daughters of the Nile, and when she was well, participated in the activities of the organization with her daughter, Helen.
She was of the Baptist faith and at the time of her death, was a member of Highlands Baptist Church in La Marque. Her favorite scripture was the 23rd Psalm. We will remember the good times with Momma when she would make a big pot of shrimp gumbo and the day would be spent playing dominoes, her favorite game.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Joe Desmuke; the father of her children, J. V. Hyatt; her parents; two brothers, Donald Coleman and Melvin Coleman, Jr.; and one sister, Geneva Blum.
She is survived by her daughters, Helen D’Albergo and husband Preston of La Marque and Loretta Reyna and husband Juan of Hitchcock; four grandsons John Reyna of Houston, Andre D’Albergo and wife Stephanie of New Braunfels, Michael Reyna and wife Lacey of Hitchcock, and Saul Reyna, also of Hitchcock. In addition, she leaves behind her seven beloved great-grandchildren Athena and Paul Rosas of Houston, Elijah and Gage Reyna of Hitchcock, Cameron and Ashlyn D’Albergo of New Braunfels, and Gabrielle Reyna of Galveston; many other dear nieces, nephews, and loving friends.
Funeral services will be held 10 a.m., Saturday, November 7, at Emken-Linton Funeral Home in Texas City. A graveside service will be conducted at 3:00 p.m., at Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery, in Bridge City, Texas, Pastor Leon Maxell officiating. Visitation will be 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., Friday, November 6, at the funeral home.
Pallbearers will be her sons-in-law, Preston D’Albergo and Juan Reyna, her grandsons, John Reyna, Andre D’Albergo, Michael Reyna and Saul Reyna.
Helen and Loretta and all those who loved Momma, wish to express their gratitude to all who visited her and gave her such loving care during her final days.
Charitable donations in her name may be made to Shriner’s Burns Hospital, Galveston, TX, American Cancer Society, The Salvation Army, or The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York.
Rev 21:3,4
With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
