Jovita M. Sepulveda

Jovita was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and friend who touched the lives of all who knew her with her kindness, warmth, and caring spirit. She shared 38 wonderful years of marriage with her husband, Henry Sierra Sepulveda, who preceded her in death, building a life centered on family, faith, and enduring love.

She was the cherished daughter of Julian (Julio) Franco Munoz and Petra Maldonado Munoz, whose values and guidance helped shape the remarkable woman she became. She was also a loving sister to Paulita Munoz Estrada and brothers Lorenzo Maldonado Munoz, Calixtro Maldonado Munoz, Joe Maldonado Munoz, and Julian (Julio) Maldonado Munoz-who survives her.

Jovita is lovingly survived by her daughters, Vickie Sepulveda Gonzales and Christine Marie Holland; and her sons, Enrique Munoz Sepulveda (Kiki) and his wife Kay and David Munoz Sepulveda and his wife Cheryl. She is also survived by her nine grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of immense pride and joy throughout her life. She was preceded in death by her great-grand daughter, T-eaa Victoria, whose memory remained forever close to her heart.

Jovita's greatest joy was her family. She was a source of comfort, wisdom, and unconditional love. Her gentle heart, infectious smile, and generous spirit created lasting memories that will continue to inspire all who knew her. Whether through her words of encouragement, selfless acts of kindness, or the love she shared so freely, she left an enduring mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we find comfort in knowing that her legacy lives on through her children, nine grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, and the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.

The family will lay Jovita to rest beside her beloved husband in Silver City, New Mexico, in March 2027. Funeral services will be held at Baca's Funeral Chapel, where family and friends will gather to honor her life, celebrate her legacy, and share cherished memories.

"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and forever dear."

May Jovita Munoz Sepulveda rest in eternal peace.
