Margarita Franco

On Saturday, January 22, 2022, Margarita Franco, went to heaven surrounded by her family. She is now at peace and is rejoicing with her heavenly Father. Margarita Franco was born in Asherton, Texas to Valentine & Isabel (Sanchez) Moreno on April 28, 1938.

Margarita was a cute ball of joy. Her smile would light up any room. She enjoyed spending time with her family, and they were all very important to her. She looked forward to the summers when her daughter, Betsy, would come to visit from Texas. Margarita also looked forward to going to Estes Park to sight see. She enjoyed our annual 4th of July family barbecue. At Christmas, we as a family would get together to make those 80 dozen tamales which was so much work but was a family tradition that brought us together. Then came New Year’s Eve, and Margarita would continue another family tradition by making her yummy bunuelos and her unique hot chocolate. And let us not forget no one can make spanish rice like she did. We know this is not the end because she is waiting in heaven, and we will meet her again. Margarita loved the Lord. She was honored to be a member of New Hope Greeley for 25+ years. She delighted in her Warriors Group at the church. She also got spiritually fed through church sermons on her Facebook.

Margarita brought love wherever she went and was loved by so many. We love you and miss you Mom,

Grandma and Great grandma. She will forever be in our hearts.
