Lighthouse funeral services is a family run business committed to providing the best quality end of life care in the state, utilizing technology to save our customers thousands. Over more than a decade of serving families, we have seen many local funeral homes bought out by big corporations who then drive up funeral costs for grieving families. We started Lighthouse to bring back affordable funeral services and lift burdens during such critical times. Lighthouse’s technology uses the power of the internet and our vast network of funeral professionals across the state to lower costs and provide your loved ones with the simplest way to create custom funerals, no matter the budget. We look forward to helping make this time as easy as possible for your family. Please give us a call or email us and we can discuss the options available to you.

🍀 A Little Luck, A Lot of Gratitude 🍀

As St. Patrick’s Day arrives, it’s a time to celebrate the simple blessings in life — family, friendship, laughter, and the memories we share together.

Sometimes the greatest “luck” we have isn’t found in a four-leaf clover…
It’s found in the people who walk through life beside us.

Today is a good reminder to reach out to someone you care about, share a story, or simply enjoy a moment together.

Because the moments we share today often become the memories we cherish tomorrow.

🍀 From all of us at Lighthouse Funeral Home, we wish you a safe and meaningful St. Patrick’s Day.

Katherine Marie Fuentes “Kathy”, 72, of Amarillo, passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side on March 8, 2026. She was born in Pueblo, Colorado, on February 24, 1954, to Joe and Rebecca (Lovato) Fuentes.

Her faith was steadfast. She sent daily prayers to family and friends. Whenever anyone was sick or needed extra prayers, she was the person to call, praying the rosary daily. She often helped the Capuchin Poor Clare Sisters with doctor appointments and other needs. One winter, her daughter made scarves for all of the nuns.

She loved sewing, making Halloween costumes, quilts, and memorial blankets. She also enjoyed embroidery.

A memorial service celebrating Kathy’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m. this Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Lighthouse Funeral Home, 3707 Wolflin Ave., Amarillo, Texas. Texas.

One of the greatest gifts someone can give their family is peace of mind.

When things are thoughtfully planned ahead of time, loved ones are free to focus on remembering the life that was lived — not worrying about the decisions that must be made.

Sometimes preparation is simply another way of saying “I care about you.”
