Noemi Ortiz-Gonzalez (18) of Alliance, Ne passed away unexpectedly on the early morning of November 24, 2024.
Noemi Ortiz-Gonzalez was born in Harlingen, TX on January 13, 2006 to Alex Ortiz and Marco Gonzalez Jr. During her high school career she was involved in many activities including band, tennis, and enjoyed managing the boys tennis team as well. She had a very free spirit, a passion for art, a love of music, and you would always find her cruising in her beloved 2008 Chevy Silverado.
She was very excited about her future, as she was going to be graduating from Alliance High School in just a month, and recently completed a certification course for basic nursing. She was planning her future with friends and a new career. Noemi's family and friends were her drive in life.
After the passing of her mom, Alex, in 2019, Noemi found peace in helping her dad and grandma with her three small baby brothers. They brought so much joy to her and always wanted to be like her. In the fall of 2020 a big blended family was created as she welcomed her stepmom and three more siblings to love.
She was preceded in death by her mom Alex Ortiz, her uncle Noe Flores Jr, her cousin Alexzander (Zander) Ortiz, her grandma Sheryl Buskirk, and her dear friend Drayden Sanchez.
