April 2, 1939 – September 6, 2026

Age 87 • Gorman, Texas

Margarita De La Torre, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and dear friend, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2026, at the age of 87.

Born on April 2, 1939, to Maria del Refugio Garza and Gonzalo Romero, Margarita lived a beautiful and meaningful life centered around family, love, hard work, friendship, and the simple joys that brought people together.

Margarita and her beloved husband, Rafael De La Torre, shared a devoted marriage of 71 years. Together, they made Gorman, Texas, their home beginning in June 1980. Side by side, they built a life filled with family, memories, laughter, love, and countless moments that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew them

Throughout her life, Margarita worked hard and formed many lasting friendships with coworkers and members of the Gorman community. She was known for her kind heart, quick wit, joyful personality, and wonderful sense of humor. She had a special way of making people laugh, offering advice when it was needed, and making those around her feel welcomed and cared for.

Her family was her greatest joy. She was always there when they needed her. She checked in on her family, offered her sound advice, and was only a phone call away whenever someone needed her. Her family knew they could always count on her.

She spent her time crocheting, sewing, and gardening. She loved spending time with her precious peacocks. She loved cooking for her family. She was a woman of many talents, but her passion was her family. She poured everything she had into each of them and instilled lasting impressions on all her loved ones. 

Margarita’s homemade food was something her family will never forget. The memories created around her table will continue to live on through the generations.

She took great pride in herself and always loved looking beautiful. Margarita was stylish, enjoyed her jewelry, and carried herself with a quiet confidence that was uniquely her own. Her family will always remember her beauty, her personality, and the way she carried herself with pride and grace.

Margarita lived a wonderful and peaceful life surrounded by the people she loved. She leaves behind more than memories. She leaves behind pieces of herself in every generation of her family
 

Her laughter, jokes, stories, cooking, traditions, and unmistakable personality have left an everlasting imprint on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Margarita’s life was a gift to her family and to all who knew her. Though she may be gone from our sight, the love she gave us will remain in our hearts and live on through every generation she touched.
 

Her family will carry her with them always—in their hearts, in their homes, around their tables, during the holidays, and in all the little moments that remind them of her. 
 

Her life was deeply loved.

Her memory will never be forgotten.

And her love will live on.

Her career at the Cisco campus began and ended at the Manor Memorial Library, but in between, she spent more than 18 years as the Bookstore manager, a job she loved because of the general merchandise she created, such as T-shirts designed with the school logo.

That job ended five years ago when the college outsourced the bookstore to an outside company, after which she was transferred back to the library.

Known for her “Bambi” eyes and bold fashion, most people would be surprised to know that Terri Gayle once earned a cosmetology instructor’s license. She never used it though; “I didn’t want to be married to it.”

Terri Gayle has been extremely popular with students. She kept an eye out for students who needed encouragement.

“My office has always been, even in the bookstore, a revolving door. Kids that are homesick, kids that have had a break-up or somebody who just wants to talk. They knew they could trust me. And sometimes they just needed a big hug.”

During buy-back season at the bookstore, when all the students were leaving, “I would literally be sore from those big old football players just squeezing me in half,” she said. “I still keep in contact with several of them.’

At a retirement party at the Hilton Civic Center on Aug. 29, her husband of 25 years, Jim Widener, read a heartfelt letter from a former student, Joy Tosu. The student told of being abandoned in her dorm during a weather crisis. Alone and frightened, she heard a car honk outside her window. It was Terri Gayle who had come to pick Joy up and take her to the Widener home for the weekend. That student is now a medical doctor at UCLA. She is just one of many students that Terri Gayle has helped over the years. .

As one former professor told Terri Gayle at the party, “‘People do not know what all you have done for the students, in their lives and for them.’ And I just looked at him, and I said, ‘Shh. They're not supposed to know.’” She was born in Ranger but has lived her whole life in Cisco except for 6 years when she lived in Longview. Her ancestors, the Bint family, were ranchers near Cisco and had a big sawmill during the Depression. Her sister, Sharon Curtis, now lives on the family ranch. Their parents were Perla and James Agnew.

Terri Gayle has two living children. Krystal lives in Abilene with her husband Steve; they have two children, Tessa Gayle and Tara Michelle. Tessa and her husband Caleb are prelaw students at Texas A&M, and Tara attends ACU.

Son Rocky Joe Thompson lives in Cisco and has a son, Brayden, a student at Eastland High, who has recently signed with the Army. Father Rocky Joe’s injury during wartime in 2005 led to him receiving a Purple Heart. This sparked Terri Gayle's deep interest in veterans who live in the Cisco area. Every year she has planned and hosted a big luncheon for veterans at the college library. She also created a huge accordion room divider with veterans' portraits and histories that lined a library wall for several years. That display has now been moved to the Eastland County Courthouse, and plans are to eventually move it to the VFW in Eastland. Terri Gayle's other son, Rowdy, was killed in a traffic incident in Abilene in 2020, but his wife Stacy Stone was at the retirement party last week with Terri Gayle's grandchildren Tucker Ray and Kendall. Now that she is retired, Terri Gayle plans to do much more cooking, a hobby she loves. "I don't have any other plans," she said. "Probably driving my husband crazy." The couple lives in a house in Cisco that she dreamed about living in when she was a child because "it looks like a castle." It will be interesting to see what Terri Gayle accomplishes next in her life. She is a great friend to many, including this writer.

With the win, Cisco improved to 1-1 heading into this week’s showdown with rival Breckenridge.

The Lobo defense set the stage for Cisco’s domination in the first two quarters. The squad limited Comanche to just one first down through the first 14 minutes of the contest and paved the way for the Loboes to sprint to a 21-0 lead.

Cannon Harris gave Cisco the upper hand in the first quarter. He hauled in the game’s initial points by pulling in a pass from McIlroy midway through the opening period.

Harris finished the game with a team-high six receptions for 84 yards.

The Loboes’ hit stride in the second.

Harris collected his second TD of the game just 24 seconds into the frame by catching an 18-yard strike from McIlroy. His reception upped the CHS lead to 14-0. The news got even worse for Comanche from there. After the Lobo defense had forced the Indians to punt their ensuing possession away, Cisco marched to the Indians 42. From there, Comanche was whistled for pass interference which moved the ball to the Tribe 28. One play later, July Johnson took a handoff and sprinted to the end zone.

Johnson’s TD run gave Cisco a 21-0 lead with 5:57 left in the first half.

Comanche, which rolled up just 92 yards on the ground against the Lobo defense, found some success from there. They punched the ball into the end zone on their next series and pulled to within 21-6.

Terrick Hernandez gave the momentum back to Cisco minutes later. He booted a 25-yard field goal with 23 seconds left in the frame to push the CHS lead to 24-6.

The Lobo defense flexed its muscle again in the third. After Comanche had successfully recovered an onside kick and marched inside the Cisco 20, the Lobo defense stiffened. They held on a crucial thirddown play and forced the Tribe to attempt a 30-yard field goal.

The kick, like Comanche’s hopes, fell short.

The Indians cost themselves again in the fourth. A personal foul play against the Tribe, moved the Loboes to the Comanche 42. Two plays later, McIlroy handed the ball to Vosburg who powered his way into the end zone from 13 yards out.

A junior transfer from Stephenville, Vosburg finished the game with 102 yards on 15 carries.

Vosburg’s first TD as a Lobo upped Cisco’s lead to 31-6 with 8:57 left in the contest.

McIlroy closed of the Loboes’ scoring with a 4-yard keeper with 4:41 left.

McIlroy’s rushing TD was set up moments earlier by one of the Loboes’ three pass interceptions.

Carter Toof led the team with two interceptions. Johnson added another.

The Loboes will host Breckenridge, starting at 7 p.m. on Friday at Chesley Field.

The Panthers ran their season record to 2-0 with a 52-0 victory over the Walnut Springs Hornets in front of a large crowd at Brogdon Field. The game was called at the half due to the six-man football 45-point mercy rule.

Rising Star evened its record at 1-1 with a 64-39 win over Brookesmith.

Gorman, which has not allowed a point this season, will return to action on Friday when they host Gholson, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Rising Star will host Mullin on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 p.m.
