Our beautiful angel, Jaleesa Nicole Villanueva, born on April 2, 1992 went home to our Lord on Wednesday January 27, 2016. She loved sports and staying in shape. From cheerleading for the Westside Sundevils when her brother played football with them to basketball and volleyball at Canutillo Middle school and Canutillo High School. Jaleesa was a 2010 graduate of Canutillo High School. She stayed in amazing shape with lots of hard work, dedication, and constant sessions at the gym.

She never gave up or slowed down unless she absolutely had to. Proceeded in death by her Maternal Grandfather, Ramon A. Duarte and survived by Parents; Rosendo Villanueva and Norma Duarte, Brothers; Richard Allen Villanueva and Michael Andrew Duarte, Maternal Grandmother; Maria Luisa Duarte, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
