Irma Grace Biano, age 83, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2022. Irma was born in San Antonio, Texas to her mother, Maria Martinez Alcala and father, Adolfo Alcala. Youngest of three daughters she and her sisters, Mary and Rosie were very close.
Irma married Robert Earl Biano on August 4, 1959, in San Antonio, Texas. The union of their marriage brought three children; their son Charles Kenneth born in 1960, Leticia Rene born in 1962 and Michelle Yvonne in 1964.
As newlyweds Robert worked many construction jobs in several locations. This allowed them to travel together and see several places such as: Alaska, Brownsville, Curacao, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, San Antonio and Judibana, Venezuela. Robert and Irma finally settled in Corpus Christi, Texas where they lived for over 40 years.
Upon settling in Corpus Christi, Irma worked at Christus Spohn Hospital in Labor and Delivery. In her 20 years at the hospital she was blessed with many lifelong friendships that she cherished. Irma was a devout Catholic and was very faithful to her church, St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church. She loved teaching CCD and lending her angelic voice to the choir. Irma’s faith in God was her guiding light. She lived her faith daily, always thanking God for the gifts she had. Irma spent her life surrounded by her family and friends. In her spare time she enjoyed dancing, music, shopping and the sunshine.
