BESSIE SENA Obituary
Our dearest Bessie Sena left this world to walk with God on June 24, 2022. Hand in hand with the love of her life, Joe Sena, they raised a family of ten children that continues to expand to 85-plus. As the matriarch of the Sena family, Bessie inspired each person to love God and pray devotedly, to be a good person to others and give with a generous heart, to smile broadly and to laugh loudly. She was a bride, mother, grandma, great-grandma, sister, aunt and friend who left this world with the beautiful impression of her radiant soul. We appreciate your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for Joe, who will be missing the partner he has traveled this life with for the past 69 years. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the immediate family will be having a private mass and burial. We ask for your understanding.

To Mr Joe Sena and the many family members of Bessie,
We offer our heartfelt condolences. We just found out that Bessie has passed and is in Heaven.
Bessie used to babysit our girls, Sandra and Peggy when we lived in Santa Fe many years ago. We had been thinking of the family recently and come to find out this sad news.
We left a message with the funeral home to call us. Please do, we would love to talk to you.
May Bessie rest in peace. She was a beautiful, kindhearted lady! We are saddened by the news. God Bless all of you.
