Lola Silva

On Monday, March 17th, our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, Lola Silva, was called home to be with the Lord at the age of 95.

Born April 28, 1929, in Morrill, Nebraska, to John and Rosa Lopez, she was the last surviving child of her three brothers and six sisters. Raised in Nebraska, she later moved to Torrington, where she would soon meet the love of her life, Henry. They married on November 26, 1947, and moved to Casper in 1948, going on to have six children: Aurora, Henry, Becky, Rachel, Rodger, and Andrew.

Lola was a woman of unwavering faith, evident in the eight well-read Bibles throughout her home. Her love for the Lord shone through every aspect of her life. She and Henry held many Bible studies in their home throughout their many years together. She found joy in prayer, strength in scripture, and peace in the promises of eternal life. She shared her faith through kindness, compassion, and an unyielding trust in God’s plan. She consistently found comfort in verses such as Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

She had a deep love for traveling—taking multiple trips to Mexico and beyond to spread the word of God—and exploring the country with her children whenever she could. She also found great joy in playing bingo and watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren play sports. Above all, she cherished the time spent with her family, creating memories filled with love and laughter.

She is now reunited in heaven with her husband, Henry; son, Andrew; daughter, Becky; granddaughter, Crystal; sons-in-law, Doug Franklin and Kenneth Cisneros; her parents; and her many brothers and sisters. She is survived by her children, Henry (Kay), Rory, Rachel, and Rodger (Leanne), along with nine grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held at Radius Church (4301 Casper Mountain Road) on Friday, April 4th, at 2:30 p.m.
