With a heavy heart, we share the passing of Louise Mary Martinez (Varos), age 62, of Fort Morgan, Colorado. Louise passed away on Thursday, January 26, 2023, surrounded by her loving children and family.
Louise Mary was born to Elias and Mary Varos in Wyoming but was raised in Greeley, Colorado.
Louise was love, joy, and light for everyone around her. She treated you like her own and made sure you felt it. She was “mom” to everyone. She enjoyed life to the fullest and made the most of every moment. She enjoyed the mountains, loved gardening, and was a pro at fishing.
She was the best wife, grandmother, mother, and friend.
Louise is survived by her husband, Michael Bernal, children Ricardo Martinez (Valerie Martinez) and Celina Piñon (Matthew Garza), her brother Matthew Varos (Sarah Varos) and sister Tina Gomez. She was a proud grandma to Arlondo Mendoza, James Bustos, Joshua Bustos, Krystian Rivera, and Elias Martinez.
She is now reunited with her parents, Elias and Mary, her brother Russell Varos, her grandson Julian Bustos, and by the many family and friends, she's lost along the way. Louise will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
“Mom,
When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me.”
