METROPLEX Loved ones bid farewell at student’s wake

Family members gather to reminisce about a social work senior’s life.

BY SAMANTHA DOUTY The Shorthorn senior staff IRVING – Eneyda Lisette Sorto’s favorite color was purple. She was an activist, a vegan, and she wanted the world to be a better place. With somber faces, family and friends said their final goodbyes to Sorto during her viewing Monday at the Cal- vary Funeral Home in Irving. Social work senior Sorto was struck by a white pickup truck Nov. 16 while crossing the intersection at Coo- per and Abram streets. She later died at Medical Center Arlington. “She wanted to make a dif- ference in the world,” Sorto’s cousin Cindy Ventura said. “She was probably the best person in our whole family. She had everyone’s best in- tentions at heart.” Ventura reminisced about memories of her late cousin. Ventura said her favorite memory was when Sorto took her to get her first tattoo in honor of her sister who had died. The Shorthorn: File photo Loved ones shuffled in A picture of social work senior Eneyda Lisette Sorto is placed at a memorial Friday at the intersection of Abram and Cooper streets.
