Lourdez "Lou" Rincon

We gather to celebrate the life of Lourdez "Lou" Rincon, who passed away on July 14, 2025, at Regency Care Facility in Norwalk, Iowa. Lou’s presence left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her. Her unwavering love, strength, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Born on March 26, 1953, in Chicago, Illinois, to Antonio and Socorro Medina, Lou lived a life rooted in family, kindness, and quiet strength. She faced a 10-month journey with Parkinson’s Disease and early-onset dementia with unwavering courage and grace—a true reflection of her resilient spirit and enduring character.

Lou is survived by her devoted husband of 38 years, Armando Rincon; her sons, Ulysses (Courtney) Rincon and Julius Rincon; her beloved grandsons, Carter and Clay Rincon; sister, Gloria (Steven) Cano-Humphrey; nieces and nephews, Missy Cano-Zelaya, Hector Zelaya, Vanessa Cano-Zelaya, Joseph Cano-Zelaya, Tony Cano, Anthony Cano, and Ellena Cano; as well as numerous extended family members and cherished friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Tony and Yolanda.

Though her passing leaves a void in our lives, we find comfort in knowing that her love, wisdom, and spirit will continue to guide us. She was more than a wife, mother, sister, and grandmother—she was our source of comfort, our quiet strength, and our heart.

Visitation will be held on Monday, July 21, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a rosary at 7:30 p.m. at Hamilton's Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., also at the funeral home.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.
