Lucy R. Sosa

May 28, 1936 - December 30, 2020

On Wednesday, December 30, 2020, the angels came down from heaven and wrapped their wings around our mom, LUCY R. SOSA, 84, and lifted her to heaven after a brief illness. SERVICES: There will be a Viewing for Lucy at Anderson Bethany Funeral Home on Monday, January 11, 2021, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, followed by a Rosary at 6:00 PM. On May 28, 1936, Lucy was born to Alejandro and Amalia Romero in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. After moving from her childhood home, Lucy resided in Roswell for the majority of her life where she made lasting memories with friends and family. She retired from American Linen after working for 25 years. Lucy enjoyed attending family events, playing Bingo, and was always up to go to garage sales. She enjoyed taking day trips with her sister-in-law, Virgie Romero. Lucy always enjoyed a cup of coffee, dropping in for a chit chat at every opportunity she had. If there was a dance floor, there is no doubt that you would find Lucy cutting a rug — always enjoying life to its fullest. Family was very important to Lucy, and she built a lasting legacy with a large family to carry on her traditions. The sudden loss of our mom has left an unexplainable void in our hearts. She loved without boundaries and gave so selflessly. She was a true blessing to our family, and we are left with an abundant amount of memories to cherish of her. It is no doubt that she is in heaven dancing, smiling, no more struggles, and no more pain. Our mom was the repertoire of ensuring that there is no greater love than a mother has for her children and grandmother for her grandchildren — she will certainly be missed. Those left to cherish memories of Lucy are her children: Porfirio Sosa (Pam) of Visalia CA, Susan Sanchez of Roswell NM, Sonia (Orlando) Vargas of Roswell NM, Mete Acosta of Roswell NM, Richard (Kathy) Sosa of Roswell NM, Ninfa (Rudy) Acosta of Dalhart TX, Joanna (Robert) Roman of La Luz, NM, Fabian (Angela) Sosa of Roswell, NM; grandchildren: Robert (Danna) Sanchez of Roswell NM, Issac Sanchez of Roswell NM, Dominic (Anabel) Sanchez of Roswell NM, Nathan (Sara) Sanchez of Roswell NM, Melissa Sanchez of Roswell NM, Cody (Lynette) Sanchez of Roswell NM, Steven Sosa of Visalia CA, Daniel Sosa of Visalia CA, Chrisina Sosa of Visalia CA, Danny Jo Sosa of Roswell NM, Lorenzo Sosa of Roswell NM, Johnny Sosa of Roswell NM, Ana Sosa of Roswell NM, Arthur Baca of Florida, Rosetta (Chris) Jimenez of California, Vito (Salina) Sosa, Vino Sosa of Roswell NM, Matthew (Blanca) Jaramillo of Roswell NM, Israel Herrera of Roswell NM, Teddy Sosa of Roswell NM, Rico Acosta of Roswell NM, Lucy (Carlos) Flores of Sinton TX, Emily Garcia of Sinton TX, Humberto Soto Jr. of Sinton TX, Saran Gamble of Cleburne TX, April (Daniel) Avelar who she raised as her own of Roswell NM, Sandy Acosta of Dalhart TX, Frankie Garcia of Dalhart TX, Orlando Vargas Jr. of Roswell NM, Leticia (Ernesto) Vargas Dias De Leon of Roswell NM, Andres (Samantha) Vargas of Roswell NM, Rosalie Stevenson of La Luz NM, Melissa Gutierrez of La Luz NM, and James Gutierrez of La Luz NM; great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren: Rosemary Sosa or Roswell NM, Steven Sedillo of Roswell NM, Malerie Sanchez of Roswell NM, Ayden Sanchez of Roswell NM, Jeremiah Sanchez of Roswell NM, Dominic Jr.Sanchez of Roswell NM, Christian Sanhcez of Roswell NM, Nathaniel Sanchez of Roswell NM, Savannah Sanchez Roswell NM, Ryan Sanchez of Roswell NM, Sophia Sanchez of Roswell NM, Delicia Sanchez of Roswell NM, Hector Aguirre of Roswell NM, Jaime Aguirre of Roswell NM, Nayeli Aguirre of Roswell NM, Joshua Sanchez of Roswell NM, Olivia Sanchez of Roswell NM, Grace Sanchez, Aubryanna Vargas, Orlando Jr. Vargas, Lorenzo Vargas, Andres Vargas Jr., Samuel Diaz De Leon, Mia Acosta, Mari Acosta, Rico Jr. Acosta, Mya Soto of Sinton TX, Aden Soto of Sinton TX, Miley Rios of Sinton TX, Auriana Flores of Sinton TX, Aaleyah, Flores of Sinton TX, Jonathan Garcia of Sinton TX, Yasmin Garcia of Sinton TX, Anina Soto of Sinton TX, Sam Soto of Sinton TX, Helena Soto of Sinton TX, Nevaeh Gutierrez of La Luz NM, Nathan Gamble of Clevurne TX, Annabelle Gamble of Cleburne, TX, Davian Collins of Roswell NM, Darriuz Collins of Roswell NM, Mersaydez Collins of Roswell NM whom she raised as her own, Aniha Acosta, Melodi Acosta of Roswell NM, Jacob Bridgeman of Dalhart TX, Brexleigh Acosta of Dalhart TX, Jaycelynn Acosta of Dalhart TX, Aristeo Chacon of La Luz NM, Ilyana Weeks, DaMijia Stevenson, Aislyn Weeks, and Shaylyn Weeks of La Luz NM, Jazmyn, Gavriel, Paublo, Santiago, Empress, Luke, Evangelina, Marcelino, Nastalgia, Zyanna, Izaiah, Zane, Azaariah, Marisela, Zhadyn, Alexander, Daniel, Joseph, Hope, Daniel John, Sophia, Dezmond, Samara, Raishawn, Joshiah, Jynesis, and Jynessa; siblings: Erminia Romero, Elisa Marquez of Artesia NM, Eloytta Hernandez of Carlsbad NM, Rosa (Jesus) Vasquez of Bell Gardens CA, Victor Romero of Artesia NM, Benito Romero of Roswell NM, George (Virgie) Romero Sr. of Roswell NM, and Adan (Priscilla) Romero of Roswell NM; a very special sister-in-law, Virgie Romero of Roswell NM, as well as countless nieces, nephews, and cousins.
