Brenda Trujillo-Mesa

Brenda (Trujillo) Mesa was born on November 21, 1946 to Roseanna (Atencio) Trujillo and Arturo Trujillo in Fort Garland, Colorado. She left us on January 8, 2019. She is preceded in death by her parents, Rose & Arthur; brothers, Walter, Mark and Orlando; sisters, Penona & Evelyn Lopez. Brenda is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Macario; her oldest child, Mickey Jr., and youngest child, Carla; son-in-law, Robert Herrera; her beloved cat, Mario; brothers, Larry (Elly) Trujillo, and Harold Trujillo; sisters, Beatrice Espinoza, Mary Robertson, June (Wes) Kitzman and baby sister, Alice Trujillo; numerous nieces, nephews, special close friends and her daughter from another mother, Pilar (Nick). Brenda was a quiet, soulful woman, very fun loving and competitive in sports and games with her husband, children, family and friends. She loved being a mother, making sure her kids, Mickey, Carla and all of us other kids valued… Faith, Family and Life. Both Mickey and Carla said that their mom made sure they always finished their homework before she would let them play or she would take them on adventures, such as Pow-Wows, picnics, parades, the fair, movies or shopping. They would walk and or ride the bus all over Pueblo to these outings. And they were always appreciative of all family and friends who would shuttle them to and from a lot of these outings (you know who you are). Those were also such good times. Brenda always made these adventures fun! And Dad Macario would join them after work wherever they were in Pueblo. In his younger days, he would ride his bike wherever they were to join them and walk, hitch rides or catch a bus as he got older. They were and are a very united and tight family. And some of us were so blessed to be a part of this. Brenda was a happy, joyful person and would want all of us to remember her this way. She wants us to be happy for her and carry forward her zest and joy for life and all it brings us. Find the good and joy in each day. It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E! “Love you, Momma Brenda”… Here’s to you! Rest in peace! God be with you, enjoy your reunion with Grandma Rose, your brothers, sisters and good friends! WE LOVE YOU! Amen.
