Everyone has a Barbara story....and on September 16, 2025, our beloved Barbara "Barb" Lucero began her next chapter in heaven. Born on October 2, 1955, Barb was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, tia, honorary tia, and friend whose love and laughter left an unforgettable mark on everyone she met.
She never knew a stranger. Her home and her heart were always open, and her presence made people feel like family. She lived with humor, strength, and resilience, and her unapologetically unfiltered way of living life reminded everyone to be authentic and brave.
Barb is survived by her children, Sonya Gonzales (Angel Gonzales) and Johnny Lucero (Tanya Lucero); her grandchildren, Cristian, Ayva, Cruz, Johnny, Lailani, Andres, and Aliana; and her great-grandson, Baby Chunk. She also leaves behind numerous family members and friends who felt like family and will miss her dearly.
Her greatest legacy is love- the kind that shows up with no conditions, no hesitations, and no end. She gave generously, laughed loudly, forgave quickly, and reminded everyone to embrace life fully.
A Rosary will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., followed by a Mass at 11:00 a.m. at St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center, 1615 E Second Street, Tucson, AZ 85719. Though her earthly journey has ended, her eternal life in heaven has just begun, and her love will continue to guide us until we meet again in God's eternal home.
