Juliet Portillo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Terrazas Funeral Chapels - Santa Clara on Sep. 19, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Juliet left this world far too soon, but the love and light she shared will live on forever.

Juliet was bright, loving, kind, and caring. Though shy by nature, her radiant smile could brighten any room. She carried a gentleness that touched everyone she encountered, showing kindness not through grand gestures but through countless small ones, an encouraging word, a listening ear, or a quiet act of support when it was most needed.

She loved deeply and cared fiercely for those around her. As a daughter and sister, she was both a source of joy and comfort in her home. As a friend, she offered loyalty, laughter, and a presence that made others feel safe and understood. Juliet had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and loved simply by being herself.

Her compassion, warmth, and smile will be remembered always. Though her time with us was brief, Juliet's spirit continues to shine through the countless lives she touched. Her memory will remain not as a shadow of loss, but as a lasting reminder of the beauty and tenderness she brought into the world.

She was a cherished daughter, a devoted sister, and a beloved friend. Juliet's light will never fade; it lives on in the hearts of her family and all who loved her.

She is survived by her parents, Danny and Jasmine Portillo of the family home; her mother, Monique Meneses of Tucson, AZ; five brothers, Dominic Portillo, Danny Portillo Jr. (Carla); Isaiah Portillo, Elias Archuleta, and Michael Cocio; three sisters, Janelle Portillo, Jeanette Portillo and Jasmine Ortega.

Visitation will be Tuesday, September 23rd from 5-6pm at Terrazas Funeral Chapels with the evening service to follow at 6pm with Pastor Tim Heyer officiating. Concluding service, cremation will take place at Terrazas Crematory.

Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels and Crematory "Trusted care for the ones you love" ~ 575-537-0777. To send condolences, visit www.terrazasfuneralchapel.com.
