Christella Romero

My beautiful soul mate passed away peacefully with her family by her side on April 25, 2014. She was born July 16, 1939 in Vigil, Colorado to Lorenzo & Petra (Roybal) Aragon. Marie was a loving spouse, mother, grandmother and friend to all. She worked at American Express for many years. Later, volunteered at Jordan Valley Hospital and West Jordan Senior Citizen Center.
She is survived by her spouse, Willie; children: Donna (Scott) Crane, Ron (Connie) Romero, Mike (Ruby) Romero, and Marlene Romero; 14 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, sister Mary Solarzano (Colorado Springs, CO), her in-laws who have always treated her as a sister, Ida (Nelson) Romero, Grace (Deceased) (John-Lillian) Romero, James (Elizabeth) Romero. Because of her deep devotion to all her children she will be deeply missed. She is preceded in death by her father, mother, and brother.
The viewing & mass will be held at St. Joseph the Worker Church, 7405 South Redwood Road in West Jordan, Utah.
