Mercy Arellano

A celebration of life for Mercy Arellano, 73, of Cleburne, will be held at a later date. Please check back for service information.

Mercy Arellano passed away at her home in Cleburne on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. She was born on October 17, 1951 in Smithville, Texas. Mercy was of the Baptist faith and worked as a caretaker for the elderly for many years. She was well-known and well-loved, knowing no strangers. Her energetic and outgoing personality shone brightest when she was singing karaoke. Her favorite music to sing was country music but she could sing anything really. Mercy could be found at the casino in her spare-time with a big smile on her face! She left a mark on those around her and will be missed greatly. 

She is preceded in death by her father, Albert Arellano, Sr.; mother, Margretta “Margie” Domingo Arellano; and brothers, Jimmy Arellano, Raymond Arellano, and Frankie Arellano.

Survivors include her children, Chris John Gonzales & his wife, Becky, Lisa Brito, and Heather Bullard; grandchildren, Stephanie Gonzales, C.J. Gonzales, Brandy Reyes, Danielle Ramoz, Tyson Bullard, Kaden Bullard, and Roxie Bullard; siblings, Albert Arellano, Jr., Tony Arellano, Freddy Arellano, and Sally Arellano; numerous nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives, including her bonus children, Jonathan, Lynn, Jill, Sue, and Shawn; and her beloved Chihuahua and “favorite child”, Rosie.
