Ruth Romero died Thursday, April 16, 2009 in Flagstaff. She was born in Flagstaff, AZ on November 19, 1944 to Louis and Tomasita (Griego) Romero. Ruth was a very loving and caring person. She would welcome you with open arms and a smile with no end. She loved spending time with her family. Even though she had no children of her own, she treated her nieces and nephews, as if they were her very own. Family was very important to her and she would help out no matter what the cost. She loved to go bowling, playing games on her computer, watching Disney movies, playing cards and making tortillas. She was getting ready to retire and was so excited, but the one thing that she was going to miss was all the people that she worked with. Her family and friends are going to miss her laughter and her kindness.
She is survived by her brother Ernest Romero, Niece Emma Martinez, Nephews Tony (Dianna) Santillan, Ray Santillan, David Santillan and many other nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, her sister Effie Santillan and brother Eddie Romero.
