Mary ARANDA Obituary

ARANDA, Mary Lou  The Lord called our beloved Mary Lou Aranda to her heavenly home on May 30, 2017, the anniversary of her father's death, Fabian Fierro.  She is survived by her 92 year old mother, Ofelia Fierro and seven sisters, Jean Ramirez (Raul), Lucille Romero (Ray), Carol Murillo (Ben), Mary Helen Valencia (Manuel), Grace Madrid (Robert), Terry Encinas and Cecilia Rojas. Mary Lou lived her formative years in Morenci, AZ and later moved to Tucson where she worked in the healthcare arena. Paramount in her life were her nieces and nephews who will remember her for her determined spirit as well as her wisdom, guidance and unconditional love. How the little ones will miss "Lu Lu" who had a special bond with them! Her Life Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, July 22, 2017 at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 1300 N. Greasewood, Rosary at 10:00 a.m. and Mass at 10:30 a.m. followed by a reception at the Parish Hall. Our family would like to thank the staffs at Casa De La Luz and Most Holy Trinity Church for their support during our difficult time.

To the Aranda Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. The loss of a loved one is such a hard thing to deal with. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. -Isaiah 61:1&2
