Mona Roth: March 7, 1964-Aug. 15, 2026

Her legacy, the greatest lesson she gave us, was to not be afraid to be yourself. There was nothing she loved more than being a grandmother.

Our family is heartbroken to share that Mona Elise Gearhart Roth, 62, of Kerrville Texas passed away peacefully on August 15, 2026 surrounded by her loving family. She was a gentle anchor of free spirit, a wonderful mother, a source of endless warmth, and a mother who’s love shaped everything.

Her love of cooking was the passion that would bring us together and had made many memories she found deep happiness in the small beautiful things tending to her plants sharing long talks fillling the home with laughter,and relaxing quietly by the Riverside, her spirit known for fierce kindness. She was a gentle free spirit.

Her legacy, the greatest lesson she gave us, was to not be afraid to be yourself. There was nothing she loved more than being a grandmother.

Mona was born on March 7, 1964, in Maryland.

She is survived by her mother, Sharon Lamar; brother, Montgomery Gearhart; her husband, Ephraim Roth; her five children, Natasha Estrada, Celena Arnold, Ernest Fields, Terran Fields, and Alex Fields; also survived by her grandchildren, Angel Garcia, Damien Estrada, Daniel Estrada, Isaiah Sanchez, Jaden Arnold, Kayden Fields , Jayden Fields, Abrea Fields, and Maddex Fields.

In 2019, Louis Amestoy saw an opportunity to make a home in Texas. After 30 years of working for corporate media chains, Louis Amestoy saw a chance to establish an independent voice in the Texas Hill Country. He launched The Lead to be that vehicle.
