Audelia "Della" Ortiz Fuentes Obituary
Aransas Pass- Audelia "Della" Ortiz Fuentes, 68, of Aransas Pass, Texas, passed away on October 17, 2025.

She was born on October 16, 1957, to Margaret (Lopez) and Jose P. Ortiz in Aransas Pass. Della was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and member of her community. She joined her husband Tony on countless shrimping trips and worked alongside him for 29 years in their family business, Fuentes Heating and Air Conditioning. Her dedication extended beyond her family and business—she volunteered for many years at the Aransas Pass Christian Center, embodying her generous and giving spirit.

A passionate supporter of youth sports, Della spent many years as a Little League coach, even leading the All Stars to the finals. She proudly coached all of her daughters during her time on the field. She also found joy in sewing, music, and, most of all, spending time with her family.

Della is preceded in death by her parents: Jose and Margaret Ortiz; sister: Frances Murphy; brother: Ricky Ortiz; in-laws: Jesus and Odilia Fuentes; and sisters-in-law: Pauline Ybarra, Lonnie Rodriguez, and Janie Rodriguez.

She is survived by her loving husband of 53 years: Tony Fuentes, Sr.; sons: Tony Fuentes, Jr. and Joey Fuentes all of Aransas Pass; daughters: Dolores Fuentes Hudson (Hutch) of Corpus Christi Texas, Margaret Fuentes St. Romain of Portland, Texas, and Angela Yardley of Falfurrias; 19 grandchildren: Issac Fuentes, Toni M. Gonzales, Richard Bell, Justin Bell, Damian Freeze, Megan Freeze, Charles Snellgrove, Tristian St. Romain, Christian St. Romain, Xavier St. Romain, Zoey Fuentes, Dezirae Fuentes, David Fuentes, Justene Fuentes, Devian Fuentes, Adrien Fuentes, Jesse Alverado, Shannon Fuentes, Michael Yardley, and Genesis Garza; 9 great-grandchildren; brothers: Joe Ortiz, Jr., Ramon Ortiz both of Aransas Pass, and Johnny Joe Ortiz (JoAnn) of Asherton, Texas.

Pallbearers will be Richard Bell, Charles Snellgrove, Justin Bell, Christian St. Romain, Tristian St. Romain, and Michael Yardley.
