Viola Lobato

Viola R. Lobato was guided daily by her very strong faith in God. Her faith came first and then her unyielding devotion to her family. Her daily routine included praying her rosary, reciting a litany of novenas and prayers. Her loving husband, Louis A. Lobato, (Tony) preceded her in death on February 12, 2011. Her 3 children were Lou Lobato (Karen), Karm Sunday, and Robert Lobato, (Jackie). She had five grandchildren, Kimberly Sunday Wilson (Chad), Christopher (Robin), and Lindsey Lobato, Jay Lobato and Rhianna Lobato Rubner. She was blessed with 5 great-grandchildren, Courtney and Chelsea Wilson, Hunter, Dillon and Logan Lobato and one great-great grandchild, Natasha Lobato. Vi enjoyed many interests at various times during her life, which included painting, crocheting, sewing, singing, and dancing. She could even play the piano quite proficiently, not by reading notes but “by ear.” She especially enjoyed spending time at the cabin, during the summer months, that Tony built in South Fork, CO. Her family found joy in fishing, playing cards,and visiting with a number of relatives and friends that often stopped by to visit. Our mother lived a long and wonderful life – – – full of laughter and with so much love and caring to go around. Her grandchildren, great grand-children and great-great grandchild were the joy of her life in later years. She always felt fortunate to have experienced the “good life” God had allowed her to have. The most comforting thought is knowing that she is at peace with God and her many loved-ones. I know that Heaven is a better place because of her. We will all miss her so very much, but she will never, ever be forgotten. The memories she imprinted in our hearts will remain forever. God Bless and Keep Her
