Payean De Torres
Oct 3, 1942 — Jun 13, 2026
It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Lidia Torres, on June 13, 2026, at the age of 83.
Lidia was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose life was defined by her love, compassion, strength, and unwavering dedication to her family. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcomed, loved, and supported, and her kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.
She found her greatest joy in caring for her family and celebrating life's simple moments with those she loved. Her wisdom, laughter, and constant encouragement will be remembered and cherished forever.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Refugio Torres; her daughter, Rosa Calanche; her parents, Crispin Payen and Socorro Lujan; her great-granddaughter, Jesarae Carreon; and her great-grandson, Jason Carreon
Lidia is survived by her loving children: Manuela Deanda and husband Ray, Lupe Torres, Maria Rojero, Socorro Sosa and husband Carlos, and Jesse Torres and wife Rufina. She also leaves behind 20 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren, and 15 great-great-grandchildren, all of whom were blessed by her love and guidance.
Visitation is set for Thursday June 18, 2026, from 1pm-9pm with a rosary at 7pm at Martinez Funeral Home chapel.
Mass is set for 10am Friday June 19, 2026, at St Mary’s Catholic Church 612E 18 St Odessa, Tx 79761with Father Joe Uecker officiating.

Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we are grateful for the years we shared, the lessons she taught us, and the unconditional love she gave so freely. Her legacy lives on through the family she nurtured and the countless lives she touched.
Pallbearers will be Carlos Sosa, Refugio Sosa, Jesus Torres Jr., Matthew Tavarez, Ivan Rodriguez, Gianmarco Rodriguez, Jose Carreon, and Andre Vasquez
*"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day.
