MANUEL SOLIS SALAZAR
of Nacogdoches, Texas

February/06/1912-August/24/2000

Chef Manuel Salazar was the Chef at the
Shamrock Hotel in Houston from 1949 to 1960.
He is survived by his wife, Dora Magdalene
and his sisters, Ida Del Bosque and Felicia
Greve of San Antonio; his sons, Frank and
Benny Salazar and Robert Sheldon Watkins
and daughters, Dereth Magdalena Montero
and Marilyn Kay Whatley of Shreveport,La.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Cecilio
and Cesario Solis Salazar.

You are sorely missed.

Dora Magdalene Salazar
Madalene and Manuel met and fell in love while working together at the Shamrock during the fifties. They both had a heart attack on the same day in August and were taken in separate ambulances
to the Emergency room of Memorial Hospital.
My most poignant memory of them was when they reached out to hold each others hands a moment
before they rushed him into efforts to save him and bring him back. They both suffered from congestive heart failure. Manuel survived the crisis of the
moment and after ten days he came home only to suffer a second fatal heart attack two days later.
Magdalene is still clinging to life by a thread
and we are told she could go any time. We are just
thankful for each day we have her with us.

Grand-daughter:
Manuels greatest comfort during those ten days
while his life hung in jeopardy was his beloved
Grand-daughter, Linnie who never left his side day or night and his daughter, Dereth who also stayed with him. My sister was home caring for our dear
fragile Mother who was and is on 24 hour oxegen.
