Sharon Marie Lucero, a longtime resident of Pagosa Springs, joined her husband, Jesus Lucero, and son in heaven on March 27 at the age of 73. She was born on Feb. 25, 1945, in Wisconsin, but at the age of 15, she moved to Pagosa Springs with her family. Soon after moving to Pagosa, she met her husband and soul mate, Jesus. They were married on May 23, 1961, at the age of 16.
Sharon and Jesus had 16 children together: Thomas Lucero, Tony and Paula Lucero, Mike and Silvia Lucero, Kenny Lucero, Bob and Amanda Lucero, Ronald and Jennifer Lucero, David and Mary Ann Lucero, Jolene and Federico Marinelarena, Joey and Christine Lucero, Tommy and Ramona Lucero, Mark and Erika Lucero, Bradley and Gretchen Lucero, Matthew Lucero, Danny and Cecilia Lucero, Dominic and Lucy Lucero, Jennifer and Noel Montes, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She loved to be outdoors and spent all of her time with family. She loved watching her grandchildren play and grow. She loved going cruising and listening to her favorite Spanish songs. She also enjoyed eating out with family at local restaurants.
After her husband’s death in 2012, she became the only foundation of the Lucero family and made sure everyone was in a good and happy place.
Sharon never complained and always put the emotions and health of everyone around her before her own. She always had good intentions toward everyone, even strangers.
Everyone around her loved her for her humble heart and for her caring personality.
Sharon will be greatly missed and loved by her family and friends.
Rest in peace.
