Julia Sanchez
10/29/1943 – 01/31/2015

Loving mother, widow, grandmother, sister, and friend passed away on January 31, 2015 at age 71. She was born October 29,1943 in Monte Vista, Colorado to Felipe and Mary Sanchez.

Mom enjoyed spending time with family, phone calls from her sisters, trips to Wendover, shopping, home improvement projects, and lived a life of service helping those in need. Mom was a private, prideful woman who never complained even when her health deteriorated so quickly. Words cannot express the love and loss we feel for our precious mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Our hearts are broken and we will never get over the pain of losing you. Mom we love and miss you immensely you will be forever in our hearts. Thank you Lord for the time we had with mom before you called her home.

Survived by children Liz (James), Elaine (Pat), Glenn, Frank, Rick (Monica), Roberta (Keith), Herman, Irene (Robert); grandchildren Crystal (Eddie), Kimberly, Amy, Glenn Jr, Danielle (Doug), Christopher, Joey, Ricki, Ashley, Celeste, Destiny, Jasmine, Skyler, Sammy, and Vanessa; great grandchildren Mike (Savannah), Jake, Edward Jr., and Mason; great great grandchildren Isaiah, and Cassidee; brothers Steve (Mary), Frank (Tracy); sisters Margaret, Joyce (Rudy), Annette; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by husband Herman; parents Felipe and Mary; brothers Mike and William; grandparents Frank and Genevieve; and sisters Betty Jo and Sally.

Thanks to all the medical staff, Joyce, Margaret, Annette, Steve, Frank for the care given to mom and to those of you who traveled a long distance to visit mom, and for everyone's thoughts and prayers we love you for it.

We just found out about Julia. We have had a lot of losses in our family the last couple of years, and now Julia...we feel your loss. I talked to her a few weeks back, so it was a shock to hear she is gone. I guess, now Herman can make her laugh again. Our hearts and prayers are with you, and we still consider all of you part of our family. The loss of a mother is...well, I can't even find the words With deepest sympathy, Tin and Mary
