Deluvina Baldonado Sanchez

July 2, 1928 - November 27, 2020

Deluvina Baldonado Sanchez was born at home in Tome, New Mexico on July 2, 1928 to her parents Patricio and Carlotta Baldonado. At the sweet young age of two, she walked next door to her great aunt’s house (Elena Serna) and was allowed to live there until she was eighteen. She enjoyed school and graduated her eighth grade class but went no further in her education. When her parents moved to California, she left her aunt’s home and moved with them. She loved California! It was so green and she loved the ocean! Mom met dad, Manuel Sanchez in 1948 and they were married the following June 18th. They were blessed with six children; Mary Carmen, Patricia Nora, John Edward, Carol Linda, Manual Anthony, and Sally Ann. Dad was an extremely hard working man and sometimes worked two jobs. Mom was always busy at home taking care of her six children and keeping a neat and clean household. Both parents were devout Catholics and loved the Lord. Mom and dad were loving, devoted parents to their children and we all loved them dearly. Mom was predeceased by her loving daughter, Patricia Nora in 2003, followed by her husband Manual in 2009 and her loving son, Manuel Anthony in 2018. Mom went home to be with the Lord on November 27, 2020. She will be laid to rest next to her husband in the family plot in California. All who knew her, loved her and she will be greatly missed.
