On October 22, 1960, Julie was born to Gilbert Sr. and Amelia Lucero in Roswell, New Mexico. Julie was a fiercely dedicated mom to all her daughters. Family came first and was above all else to her, a value she instilled in all those around her. The hole left by her absence is impossible to fill. She loved spending time with her family and listening to music. She loved being a Nana, and teaching them Abc’s, and attending their sporting events. She loved watching murder mysteries while coloring on her phone. Julie was preceded in death by her parents, Gilbert Sr. and Amelia; sister, Beatrice; brothers: Peter and Isidro “Red.” Those left to cherish her memories are her daughters: Audrey, Amelia, Brittaney, and Destiney; grandchildren: Cody, Raelynn, Davian, and Timothy; siblings: Cecelia, Gilbert(Jr.), Elarido, Josephine, Roberta, and Linda; as well as three life-long friends who she knew since childhood: Pete Martinez, Pauline Cruz, and Larry Candelaria affectionately known as “Sunshine”; a special cousin she considered a sister, Maggie Hernandez affectionately known as “Pinkie”; plus numerous family and friends she loved dearly, and you can’t forget about her dog she’d call her “boy,” Roman. The family would like to send a big thank you to Nurse Miranda Santillan for taking care of their mom. Also, thanks to everyone who has sent prayers, thoughts, food, and toiletries. Julie’s tribute was written in her honor by her family.
