Olga Cadena Romero

With heavy hearts and overwhelming sorrow, we announce the heartbreaking loss of our cherished mother, Olga C. Romero (65). She peacefully transitioned January 22nd, 2025, following her brave choice to enter hospice care, after facing a long and challenging battle with kidney disease.

Olga radiated an unyielding passion that set her soul ablaze, fiercely standing by her beliefs without wavering. With a spirit that overflowed with compassion, she possessed an extraordinary gift for finding the right words to mend even the most aching hearts,

soothing weary souls with the warmth of her heartfelt expression.

She wore her identity as a community activist and leader like a badge of honor, pouring countless hours into volunteer work at the LDS church, schools, and outreach programs reflected her persistent commitment to uplifting others. Yet, nothing brought her greater delight than the “adventures” she embarked upon with her beloved grandchildren. Olga’s life most exhilarating moments were enveloped with bursts of laughter, joyous dancing, the warmth of cooking, and the tranquil joy of fishing, savoring every moment

spent with treasured family. In every smile and shared moment, her spirit soared, making the mundane feel magnificent.

Olga was born on April 18, 1959, in Artesia, New Mexico, to her adored parents, Domingo and Salome Cadena as the beloved firstborn of ten spirited siblings, her heart was forged in love, creating an unbreakable bonded family.

She completed her education graduating from Tolleson High School in 1978. Then, on that fateful day of May 27th, 1979, she united her heart with her soulmate, Paul Romero II, embarking on

a beautiful journey together. In the warmth of their shared dreams, they built a home filled with laughter and love, welcoming three children Paul Romero III, Callistine Lerma and Maria Kellum who would become the heartbeats of their lives.
