Cora Ulibarri

The angels of heaven sat Cora on a satin pillow for her journey to her awaiting heavenly home in the early morning hours following our festivities here on earth of glowing fireworks.

She joined her husband Joe C. Ulibarri, her parents, 2 brothers and 2 sisters, and all of her friends she loved dearly from her church.

Cora gained her highest reward here on earth as the most loving wife and mother. She chose to portray her kindness by giving her canned peaches and tomatoes to everyone who came by. Her faith and trust in the Lord was all she has ever known, and beside her family that was all she lived for. Wealth and earthly gain was never in her book because she talked about her heavenly mansion that awaited her. If she was in her home, car or watching TV she was always singing or humming church hymns.

Cora retired as a nurse with St. Mary’s Hospital for 30 years serving children in the pediatric ward. She always mentioned the Sisters by name, and what a pleasure it was to work for them. Up to her late years she still did blood pressure tests with a stethoscope for those that came to her home. She also worked for a contractor that showed her how to drywall, texture and paint. Cora bragged about how she was now a pro and loved painting her own home. She loved weeds when she was in her yard, and could not bear to pass one bye.

Survivors include her sons, Bobby, Gary and Allen Ulibarri all of Fruita; a daughter Betty(David) Padilla of Thornton, Colorado; nine grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.

Visitation will be held Monday, July 10, 2017 from 5-7PM at Martin Mortuary. A funeral service will be held Tuesday July 11, 2017 at 10 AM also at Martin Mortuary. Burial will follow at Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
