ISAAC ROMERO Obituary
Isaac Romero, passed away peacefully at his home May 28th, 2022 surrounded by his family. He wasborn to Maria and Roman Romero in Santa Fe, New Mexico on July 10, 1936. Isaac was preceded in death by his parents, three sisters Cordelia Romero, Loraine Lucero and Annabelle Valdez as well as Eric Romero his grandson and Jason Romero a great grandson. He is survived by Marcella Romero, his wife of sixty four years; three sons, Isaac (Kristina), Edward (Deanna) and Phillip. He was blessed with nine grandchildren Jason, Alicia (Marcus Villarose), Erin (Marty Valdez), Nic, Robin, Charlotte, Eric (all Romero), Darrell and Billy (Ross), Celina, Esai and Nico(Valdez).

Isaac grew up in Santa Fe, where he graduated from Santa Fe High and the College of Santa Fe, playing basketball in high school and baseball in college. He was an active member of the CSF Alumni Association and served in the National Guard. He worked as a grocer, managing the Safeway store downtown for 30 plus years and at the Department of Health for another 20. During that time he established many relationships that transcended the workplace, many of whom have become parts of our extended family. He loved the Cabin in Cow Creek, Lobo Basketball, the Cowboys, being a Santero. The family would like to thank his caregivers Patricia Baines, Ramona Hernandez and Alicia Romero, as well as Eric Pena, Adeline Ulibarri and Corine Lovato for their friendship and support prior to and during this difficult time.

Mr. Romero was my patient briefly, in Santa Fe, many years ago & I have a wonderful, joyful piece of driftwood with little birds on it that he gave me in the 1990´s. Seeing it & thinking of him never fail to bring me a smile. My sincerest condolences!

Uncle Isaac, words are not enough to express what you mean to your family! We will miss you, but the memories live on. Thank you for your kindness and the love you always showed me. Your brother John will miss the long phone conversations, his heart hurts now but I know he gets that you are in a better place.
Love you always!

I grew up on Johnson St. while Isaac was the manager at Safeway. I remember he was always generous to us Carlos Gilbert kids when we needed ice cream for a class party. Much later, I visited Santa Fe as an adult and found him at Spanish Market. He recognized me immediately, we had a great conversation, and when I left he gifted me with a carving which I still have. He was one of a kind, condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.
