On the morning of Monday, November 11, 2024, Soyla went to be with the Lord. She was born on December 5, 1955, to the late Nieves Sr. and Genoveva Segovia. Later in life on May 16, 1971, Soyla went on to marry Amador Liendo Sr. in Tahoka cherishing forty-nine years of a loving marriage, before he preceded her in death on September 10, 2020. 

Soyla lived a life dedicated to family and faith. She was a lifelong resident of Tahoka, Texas, a homemaker and the proud matriarch of a large family. Her family was her whole world, and she enjoyed caring for and spending time with them. Soyla was a great cook and another way she expressed her love was through food. She always delighted for family and friends to come and enjoy her special tamales and menudo, which brought comfort and joy to all who gathered at her table. 

Her passions extended beyond the kitchen. Soyla had a playful spirit and found pleasure in games like Bingo and Lotteria, which brought her happiness and laughter. In quieter moments, she enjoyed watching the "Huaraches" videos on YouTube, indulging in the leisure of a good manicure and pedicure, or simply cruising around town with the windows down, tuning in to Radio Vida and enjoying the communion of family calls. 

She was a devoted Catholic and an active member of St. Jude Catholic Church. Her faith guided her through life and formed the foundation of her character, shaping her into a person with immense kindness and compassion. 

Soyla is preceded in death by her husband Amador Liendo Sr; her parents Nieves Sr. and Genoveva Segovia; brothers Luis Garcia, Oscar Segovia, Noe Segovia and Nieves Segovia Jr. 

She is survived by her three sons, Amador ( Guadalupe) Liendo Jr. of Tahoka, Alvin Patrick (Martha) Liendo of Damascus, Virginia, and Allen Henry Liendo of Lubbock; Three daughters Yvonne Liendo of Lubbock, Velma Liendo Sikes of Bangs, and Nora Liendo (Evan) Easley of Wolfforth; four brothers Vicente Garcia of Dilley, Texas, Waldo (Melissa) Segovia of Tahoka, Noel (Ercilia) Segovia of Tahoka, and Joe (Yolanda) Ochoa of Houston a sister Maria Arranda of Dilley; twenty-five grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren.
