Mary Romero Obituary

Mary "Faye" Romero July 24, 1936 - October 6, 2010 Faye Romero was born on July 24, 1936 in Bakersfield, CA. Faye passed away peacefully on October 6, 2010 while surrounded by family who loved her dearly. Faye lived her life to the fullest and enjoyed watching football, camping, traveling to Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas, visiting with family and watching her grandchildren. Faye had a glowing presence and great humor that made all who knew her love her. In 1975, she and her husband, Ruben, owned and operated Ruben's Bakery in Exeter, CA for 10 years. After moving back to Bakersfield, Faye worked for Albertson's for 15 years and met many wonderful, caring people along the way, until she retired to become a full-time grandma at the age of 71. Faye is preceded in death by her mother and father, Louise and Frank Winters and is survived by her devoted husband of 33 years, Ruben; her brother, Gene Skinner; and sister, Kay and husband, Charlie Newman; her children, Debbie and husband, Tim Bush; Terri Cooper; Mel Gardiner; Jereme Gardiner; Lisa and husband, Brad Hirst; Raymond Romero and wife, Samantha; Michelle Romero; Robyn and husband, Daniel Arnold; and Nicholas Romero and wife, Karin; grandchildren, Cindy and husband, John Pitre; Kristin Bush; Brooke Thompson; Rachael Gardiner; Chris and Matt Ferrill; Garrett Romero, Nolan, Damon, Ryann and Rylee Arnold; Xander and Braxton Romero; Lauren, Brandon and Brenna Hirst; Alec, Cameron, Justin and Jessica Romero; Gabriel Montano and Alyssa Ayala; great-grandchildren, Paige and Lexie Rodriguez; as well as numerous brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. We will treasure the time we spent with you, and until we meet again ... you will live in our hearts, minds and dreams forever. We love you so much and we'll strive to make you proud. Friends are invited to join the family in the celebration of Faye's life at a chapel memorial service held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 16th at Greenlawn Southwest (Panama Lane). www.bakersfield.com/obits

Ruben, before there was Albertson's there was Vern's Supermarket. You and Faye helped me grow up and I will never forget that. I so fondly remember her in the office watching over me and you in the bakery, helping me "steal" donuts out the back door of the bakery, when I went hiking. I have thought of you both often over the years. My thoughts are with you and the kids.

Terri, Jereme, Mel, Debbie, Robyn & Nick

My heart goes out to all of you at this very sad time. Your mother was an amazing woman! I see her strength, her humor, and her smile in all her girls!
I have wonderful memories growing up, spending the night at your house. Your mom always made me feel welcomed, and she always enjoyed teasing me. ( which Jereme now does). Remember the nick-name she gave me at age 15? TINY TACO. I will never forget that special cake her & Rueben made for me for my birthday. It was a Taco.(No cheese!) You guys were very blessed to have such a wonderful woman be your mother.

With my Deepest Sympathies,
Delly Nolasco
