Our beautiful, loving, and gracious mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, cousin and friend, Rosa Edna Gallegos; passed away on May 29, 2018 surrounded by her loved ones, due to complications of a heart attack on April 30, 2018.
Edna was born on September 26, 1930 to Fidel and Eva Arellano in Costilla, NM. She married Thomas E Gallegos (deceased) and together they raised five children.
