Maria Soledad Torres Goularte

The Lord called Maria Soledad Torres Goularte (Chole) home on June 3, 2025, while surrounded by her family.

Chole as she was affectionately known, was born in El Montoso, Jalisco, Mexico on March 22, 1948. She lived there until she emigrated to the United States in 1972. There she attended school to learn English as a second language.

Chole was a bright light with a joyful spirit. She lived her life humbly, full of love for her family, and with an unwavering faith in God. She truly enjoyed the flowers in her garden and could name every one of them. She found joy in her pets through their unconditional love. She loved cooking and was truly happy feeding you until you could not eat another bite. She was a poet with a sense of humor. She enjoyed learning and had several writings that she shared with her children and grandchildren. She had a contagious smile and sharp wit that will be missed by her family and all her friends.

Chole is survived by her husband Larry Goularte, Sons; Alfredo Contreras (Corrine), Homero Contreras (Jennie), Ricardo Contreras (Sandy), Eliseo Contreras (Noemy), Alberto Contreras (Vanessa), Daniel Contreras (Jennifer), many grandchildren, great grandchildren and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents Josephina and Francisco Torres, siblings Beatriz Torres, Francisco Torres and Pablo Torres.

Her memory will live on through her beautiful writings and in our hearts. “Te quiero con toda mi pansa porque es mas grande que mi corazon”.
