Cyrilla Marie Lucero

Cyrilla received her angel wings….

During her working years, she was a dedicated customer service specialist in many different roles, at the bookstore and the medical center, as well as salesclerk and restaurant hostess. 

She was a member of Catholic Sisters, taught Catechism, Eucharistic Minister, Epsilon Sigma Alpha for 18 years doing philanthropic work , and Pagosa Springs Guadalupanas.

Cyrilla was known for her beautiful and thoughtful greeting cards she sent for all occasions. Each card was chosen with care--sometimes taking an hour to pick the right card—because she wanted her friends and family to feel special.

She grew up in the Pagosa Spring area but was blessed to spend winters in Dayton, Ohio, with her second family, Baldy and Fomp Turner.

Her worldly travels took her to six different countries and thirty-three states.

She was an excellent cook, for someone who didn’t know how to boil water when she was first married.

She enjoyed bowling for many years and does not want us to forget what a good bowler she was, even taking state with her team, “The Early Birds.”

A loyal Bronco fan for over 50 years, from their beginnings and even watching each game this season, loving all the victories.

She had a big family and is survived by many, including her three children Kim (Tom), Greg (Tracy) and Dana, six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, one great-great-granddaughter, and youngest brother Gary (Cathy).

She is reunited in heaven with her parents, Cirilo and Mary, brother Ben, sisters Nioma and Sabina, and grandson Troy.

As Cyrilla’s son Greg lovingly said, “The Lucero Children from 336 Mt. Princeton Dr. are blessed and doing wonderful because that’s the only way Mom would have it.”

Rest in peace, Mama—we love YOU!

In lieu of flowers, Cyrilla requested donations be made to three of her favorite charities:
