Pete and Donna Archuleta

October 5, 2025

We offer our sincere condolences to Kelly & Michael. I last saw your Mother about a year ago at Westlake nursing home where she was a temporary resident across the hall from my sister who was a long-term-resident there. Pete & I met Donna in 1964 when she met Pete's best friend Gayle Crew. (Pete & Gayle had been best friends since junior high school.) After your Mom & Dad married, we lived across 16th Avenue from them for about 3 years. Your Mom was so talented in many ways: her cooking, sewing, crafts, & decorating. We exchanged recipes & shared suppers. When Kelly outgrew her clothes, they were passed down to our Shelly; when our Sean outgrew his clothes, we passed them to Michael. As happened, we didn't stay in close touch over the years, but our friendship with your parents was always in our hearts. With love and prayers for you, we are Pete and Donna Archuleta.
