Adriana Bilano

Adriana Bilano, age 65, passed away on Friday, February 3, 2023 in Agua Dulce, Texas. She was born April 26, 1957 in Lubbock, Texas to Alfredo Carrasco and Maria Ynguanzo.

Fondly known as “Mrs. B” she was a force to be reckoned with. Standing at only 5’ tall and 90lbs, she was the true example that dynamite comes in small packages. She was a no-nonsense woman with the biggest heart. There was not a baby or child that did not immediately love her. She was often referred to as a baby whisperer.   

Mrs. Bilano was a woman of many talents and could often be found around town working on her properties. She never shied away from a task, so there was no telling if she would be found working on plumbing, putting in electrical, shooting acoustics, or up on a ladder.

Mrs. B was a phenomenal baker and cook. She was especially known for her pan de polvo. People would often beg to purchase them from her, but she only liked to bake from her heart and not for money.

Mrs. Bilano’s greatest joy in her life was her grandchildren. She spoiled, doted, and lavished each one of them with love. Their Nannie was their biggest supporter and cheerleader and could often be heard above everyone else. 

Adriana was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Rene Bilano; sister, Diana Carrasco Cherry and brother, Adolfo Carrasco.

She is survived by her daughter, Gyzenia (David) Tucker of Corpus Christi, Texas; son, Sebastian (Annette) Bilano, Sr. of Fort Worth, Texas; grandchildren, Jacob Valadez, Christian Valdez, Sebastian Bilano, Jr., Jaxson Tucker, Gabriella Bilano and Faith Tucker; sisters, Ada (Rene) Hernandez of Hobart, Oklahoma and Amanda Carrasco; brothers, Adam Carrasco of Hobart, Oklahoma, Alfredo (Sherry) Carrasco, Jr. of Milwaukie, Oregon, Andy Carrasco of the Philippines and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
