Stella Orozco Obituary

Stella Q. Orozco 55, passed away February 19, 2009. Survived by her husband of 13 years, Jesus Orozco; son, Joey Marin; brothers, Robert Q. Lopez and Jesse Lopez. The extremely kind, ever-so giving and beautiful Stella Q. Orozco has left us for a better place. Stella touched the hearts of many and gave all that she had to those that were a part of her life. She was the type of person who would give the shirt off her back or the food from her plate, if it meant helping a person in need. She demonstrated great strength and courage throughout her battle with cancer. If she could have shared her last words with us, they might sound like this "I love you Jesus, I love Joey and to everyone thank you for taking part in my life. Remember to cherish each day spent amongst your loved ones, I know I did." Visitation will be held Thursday, February 26, 2009 from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at CARRILLO'S TUCSON MORTUARY (South Chapel) 240 S. Stone Ave., with a Rosary recited at 7:00 p.m. Mass will be offered Friday, February 27, 2009, 10:30 a.m. at Santa Cruz Church, 1220 S. 6th Ave. Interment to follow at Holy Hope Cemetery. Arrangements by CARRILLO'S TUCSON MORTUARY, INC.

Joey,
Feel no guilt in laughter, your mom knows how much you care and loved her
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share
She hopes that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared.
The days you spent together and how very proud she was of you and all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart .

With our deepest sympathy and in our Prayer's you'll be
Claudia Rodriguez and Family.

Joey,

~~~I can only begin with the most saddening words that break my heart as I express my condolences to you. I feel your pain, and I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother.
I did have the pleasure of meeting your Mom, however, I didn’t get know her personally, but Manny has always shared nothing but good things about how nice of a person your Mom was. Stay strong and pray to God to give you the strength through this very trying time. May you keep her memories dear to your heart always and forever~~~

~~Isabel~~

I recently met Stella and Jesus when Joey suggested they watch my son on Fridays. That started in September of '08. I was so happy to find such a warm and caring person to watch my infant son. I only wish Johnny would remember you. Rest dear heart. My heart goes out to you, Joey and Jesus.

May Stella rest in peace and her family continue to share memories of her.
I knew her as a class mate when we went to Santa Cruz.
She sure was great at playing tether-ball.
I remember her long hair in a pony tail with a ribbon.
My deepest condolences to her family.

Sincerely,
Cecilia (Mejias) Mulcahy
