Loretta Romero Sedillo was Born on August 7, 1960, in Dexter, New Mexico, to Gilbert Sedillo and Benita (Romero) Sedillo, Loretta was a woman of extraordinary strength, faith, and heart. Raised alongside her siblings-Joe Roger Sedillo, Linda Aranda, and Lorena Tarin-she grew up to be a fierce basketball player, a resilient survivor, and an unwavering anchor for those she loved.

Loretta's life was defined by her unconditional love and deep devotion to her family. Her warmth and spirit live on through her children, Gabriella Luiz, Brianna Vasquez, Manuel Luiz, and Samuel Sedillo. She cherished every moment spent as a grandmother to Gabriel Ambrosio Luiz, Michael Luiz, Robyn Florez, Daniel Florez, Ariana Florez, Ezekiel Luiz, Junior Rios, Manuel Luiz, Samantha Luiz, and Marcus Luiz, and took immense pride in her great-grandson, Adonis Chaves.

Though her family deeply mourns her loss, they find comfort knowing she rests peacefully in the presence of the Lord.

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10

A life of strength, a heart of grace,

Now resting in a peaceful place.

Held safe within God's loving hand,

Rejoicing in a heavenly land.
