Maria Trujillo

Maria Rubella Elizabeth Trujillo, 33 joined our Lord in heaven on Friday, July 31, 2015. Maria was born in Clayton, NM on October 11, 1981 to Louise "Olie" Trujillo. She moved to Roswell with her mother and started school where she graduated in 1999. Maria first worked as a receptionist and then went on to be a caregiver in healthcare.

Maria so loved her mom, "Olie" who gave her the nickname "mom" she dearly called her. She loved to write poetry and her love for music, in her words "would take her to another place." Maria was shy and kept to her herself but as she grew she blossomed into a voice of strength and sureness. She had two special dogs Chubawubas and Monkey.

Preceding Maria in death are her mother Louise "Olie" Trujillo, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She is survived by two special aunt and uncle Hazel Trujillo and Roy Villareal of Roswell, NM who helped raise her; her padrino Ben Garcia of San Diego, CA; Benny and Beatrice Mirelas from Dougles, WY, Joe and Mary Trujillo of Lovington, NM, Ruby Gonzales from Roswell, NM, Kathleen Trujillo of Roswell, NM and numerous cousins and friends.

Maria's quote: "I wished I lived in the clouds......." Now you do our beautiful Maria, peaceful serenity with your mom and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A rosary is scheduled for 9 am, Friday, August 7, 2015 at St. John's Catholic Church with a Celebration of Life following at 10 am. Deacon Ernesto Martinez of St. John's Catholic Church will officiate. Burial will follow at South Park Cemetery.

A Better Home

Dear Family. I am writing a special letter just to you.
I want to tell you not to cry.
I've made it safely through.
Please know that I am happy sitting here at Jesus' knee
Where all the hosts of heaven sing and worship God with me.
It's so beautiful in heaven and so peaceful here I know that even if I could come back.
I wouldn't want to go.
The street is paved with purest gold.
The trees forever green;
There's a river flowing from God's throne
That's crystal clear and clean.
I have a mansion of my own.
I'm filled with joy and praise;
I listen to sweet music
And my voice in anthems raise.
My vision's 20/20
And my ears hear every sound;
My feet that were once hurt and tired
Now walk firmly on the ground.
The old are young and lively;
There's no tears to fill my eyes...
All the glories God promised
Have come true beyond the skies.
I have everything I need now
So dear family, don't feel blue.
I'm writing you this letter just to say
...I still love you.
I'll be waiting in Heaven
For us to meet again someday
And I pray that you'll stay ready to be quickly caught away.
But until the trumpet's sounding
And the sky is opened wide,
Please don't cry for me, my
Loved ones
...I am safe by Jesus' side.
