Marie West

Marie Lynn West, 75, of Aransas Pass, Texas, passed away January 20, 2023, with her family at her side lovingly sending her to eternal rest with a peaceful heart.

Marie, aka Bebe, was immensely proud of her family and leaves behind her loved ones with so many cherished memories of her.

She devoted her life to her family and was our rock.  As our family grew she lovingly watched as we came and went and as we evolved and matured.  She very strongly but lovingly guided us as we made mistakes and faced life’s challenges.

With each milestone she held us tighter and loved us all the more, never wavering in her adoration and the love she had for her family.

Marie is survived by her three daughters, Kimberly G. Lopez (Frank), Karrie L. Chavez (Ed), and Stephanie Diane Jackson; three sisters Darlene Barcak (James), Denise Shelby (Steve), and Jessica N. Garwood, all of Aransas Pass.

Marie or more commonly known as “Nanny” to 13 grandsons, Jacob (Christina), Lukas (Melinda), and Santana (Raven) Pena, Russell and Ronnie Edison, David Martinez, Alex Hernandez, Austin Ochoa, Troy Chavez, Kaden, and Kaleb Gomez, Kameron Davis, and Turtle.

Seven great-grandchildren, Israel, Mia, Sam, Luis III, Elena, Catalina, and baby Axell.

Honorary grandsons and nephews, Jeremy and Zachary Salinas, Dillon and Trevor Starr, and Vincent Hernandez; nieces, Amy Maguglin, and Angie Rodriguez. As well as many others that loved “The Nanny”.

Marie is preceded in death by her amazing parents Russell and Gene West, her brother Ronnie West, her Charlie Boy (Aaron Mize) and former husband Ronnie Earl West.

Marie will be desperately missed by all those that she’s left behind.  None more so than her partner, who happens to be her best friend and daughter Karrie.

Our hearts are so broken by this loss.

Our Mom/Nanny/ Sister/Aunt/Friend,Bebe, was truly a force and a one-of-a-kind lady who will continue to live in our hearts as we deeply love and miss her daily.
