Reyes Viola Sena December 17, 1920 - December 15, 2004 Our dear Mom passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family and friends after a short illness.

Also preceding her in death were her brothers and sisters, Rosinaldo Ortiz, Preciliano Ortiz, Willie Ortiz, Medardo Ortiz, Julian Ortiz, Frank Ortiz, Eurcenia CdeBaca, and Mary Aranda. Reyes was the loving mother of Juanita Sena-Shannon and husband, Martin Shannon, Elizabeth Griego and partner, Jose Comancho, Gilbert R.

Nana was adored by her grandchildren, Susan Lopez and husband, Santiago, David Shannon and wife, Christina, Josh Gonzales and wife, Candice, Bonnie Jane Sena, Michael Sena and Michelle Griego. Her great-grandchildren brought smiles and joy to her life: Santiago, Brianna, and Nicolas Lopez, Caitlin, Jacob, and Isabel Shannon, and Shaylee, Zaiah, and new baby boy Gonzales. Reyes is survived by her siblings Donelia Roybal, Rosina and Gene Clayton, Reynaldo and Stella Ortiz, Jerry Aranda, Helen Ortiz, Val Ortiz, Lucy Sena, Alice Sena and Eleanor Sena. Her many friends and relatives will miss her greatly. Our mom was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She had unbound devotion to her marriage and family life with her loving husband, Gillie. She was admired and respected for her commitments, positive attitude and love for her religion and spiritual life. Throughout her life, Reyes was active in the Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish community. Mom never hesitated in sharing with others and graciously and generously contributed to various charitable organizations. Through her example, she taught others around her to accept the shortcomings in life and praise their gifts from God.
