Barbara C. Sedillos was born July 17, 1932 in Gallup, NM and embraced the loving arms of Jesus on Monday, October 5, 2009. Thank you Jesus for lending us your precious angel for 77 years. You must have known how much her family needed her as you gave her an endless supply of unconditional love to nurture everyone. Her greatest joy was to serve you and the large extended family entrusted to her. She was a beloved and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to everyone and was one of life's greatest treasures. It pains our hearts to let her go and our lives will never be the same but all knowing Jesus you saw she was tired and called her home to rejoice in heaven with you for eternity. Barbara suffered great loss when her son Richard (Ricky) Sedillos was suddenly and tragically taken in November 1989. She was also preceded in death by her parents Juan Jose and Manuelita Chavez; her brothers, Leo Chavez and Tony Baca, her sister Melba Chavez; and sisters in law Julia Gonzales, Andrea Carrillo, and Rosie Bergman. Mrs. Sedillos is survived by her husband of 61 years, Mr. Frank Sedillos; her children and their spouses, John and Linda Sedillos, Frank Jr. (Bosque) and Karen Sedillos, Kathryn (Kathy) and Allen Jaramillo, Robert (Danny) Sedillos, Maria (Lena) and Anthony Trujillo, Barbara Ann Sedillos, Randy Sedillos and Paul (Steven) Sedillos; 12 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; her brother, Gilbert Chavez; sisters-in-law, Dolores Chavez, Dolores Mazon and Jennie Sedillos; and many nieces, nephews, and cherished friends.
