Viola Saiz Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Viola was born on July 5, 1945, to Demetrio and Isabel Chavez in Duran, NM. She married Philip Saiz Jr. on April 19, 1969, in Duran and finally made their home in Clovis, NM. Viola was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe church and was very devoted to her faith. She loved to cook, sew, quilt and getting into anything she could find that she wasn't supposed to. Family was everything to her, as she was 1 of 13 children. Viola loved talking about all her memories of her mom and dad and growing up with all the adventures she had with her brothers and sisters. But her most memorable time would be spending time with her grandchildren as they were her heart and soul. Viola was at her happiest when she was surrounded by all her children and grandchildren. We will certainly miss her favorite saying when you saw her or spoke on the phone with her "I will see you in the movies" and we would tell her "Not unless we see you first". And you could never leave her house without her saying a prayer. This amazing woman will be greatly missed by all.
Viola is survived by two daughters; Alva (Dale) Lucero, Gabrielle (Nathaniel) Madrid, two sons; Nathan Saiz, Philip (Catherine) Saiz and her grandchildren; Jonah (Anjelica) Lucero, Rebekah (Francisco) Jimenez, Victoria Gonzales, Tinnelle (Nick) Gonzales, Allanna (Greg) Martinez and Michelle Saiz, brothers; Trinidad (Pauline) Chavez, Trinkie (Jean) Chavez, Demetrio (Rosie) Chavez and Raul Chavez, sisters; Carol (Richard) Vigil, Tommie (Leo) Montoya.
She is preceded in death by her husband of more than 50 years; Philip Saiz Jr., parents; Demetrio and Isabel Chavez, brothers; Frank Chavez, Don Chavez, Herman Chavez and Jimmy Chavez, sisters; Betty Flores and Tana Lucero.
