In Memory Of
Frances S. "Kika" Gallegos
1935 - 2019

Frances S. Gallegos, 83 of Denver, passed away peacefully in her home on April 11, 2019. She is preceded in death by her parents Juan B Suazo and Adelia Ortega, sister Ursie Huerna, Sister-in-law Mary Suazo, and grandson Juan Chavez. Frances was born in La manga, NM, and moved to Denver in 1954 where she met and married Jesse Gallegos; with whom she had her five children. Frances was a restaurant owner, and enjoyed cooking for her family. She never allowed a guest to be hungry in her home, and would throw a meal together as soon as you walked through the door. She also enjoyed going to the bingo, and finding treasures at yard sales and the second hand.
Frances is survived in death by her five children John (Lika), Joseph (Lisa), Rosa (Mando), Robbie (Dianne), and Manuel (Jill); her siblings Olive George, Manuel Suazo, Jane Pacheco (Lorenzo), and Viola Trujillo (Primitivo); along with her 14 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family gratefully acknowledges the love and support provided by George, Annie, Fran and Matt.
