Together they raised seven children: Anna (Dick), Saul (Melissa), Jairo (Shelly), Letty (Tim), Jody, and twin boys, Henry (Cynthia) and Eric.

Lupe was well known for being an amazing cook and cooked with love. If she knew you were coming over, she would always have your favorite meal prepared.

If not, it would be ready soon after receiving a big “I love you.”

Lupe always had her door open to friends and family and made everyone feel welcome. She also enjoyed her gift for crocheting beautiful blankets, scarves and hats.

Yet, one of the most special things about our beloved Lupe is the way her love radiated for her children & grandchildren. She was always the happiest when surrounded by her family. She has 10 Grandkids: Katelyn, Allison, Ryan, Madelyn, Grayson, Kaycee, Stacia, Nicolas, William, and Maya. She always looked forward to seeing them and spoiling them in true Grandma form. She expected frequent visits and never wanted the kids to leave, always offering a sleepover.

Lupe was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

She was always so happy and full of life and love. She will always be remembered for her generous heart and great sense of humor. She never missed an opportunity to say I love you and will be greatly missed.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, October 17, 2013 at Christ the King Church, corner of 17th and Woodruff, in Idaho Falls.
