Helen Trujillo

February 11, 1929 — November 7, 2024

Denver, Colorado

Helen Trujillo, a beloved member of the Denver community, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2024, at the age of 95. Born on February 11, 1929, Helen lived a long and fulfilling life, marked by her unwavering dedication to her family.

Helen was the devoted wife of Leo Trujillo, with whom she shared 71 wonderful years of marriage until his passing on January 15, 2022. Together, they built a beautiful life. Helen was the cherished mother of Lucy and Michael Trujillo, who were the lights of her life and a source of endless pride.

Helen grew up in a large family with 11 siblings. Helen was a stay-at-home mother until her kids grew up. She then dedicated more than 19 years of her life to serving the State of Colorado.

Helen will be remembered not only for her remarkable longevity but also for the profound impact she had on those around her.

Helen was preceded in death by her children, Lucy and Michael Trujillo, as well as her husband, Leo Trujillo. She is survived by her brothers Ray and John Navarette, sisters, Katheryn Pacheco and Gloria Sanchez and brother-in-law Mike Trujillo and sister-in-law Lisa Trujillo. She now joins her husband, Leo, her children, and her siblings, friends, and family who passed before her, in eternal rest.

A celebration of Helen’s life will be held on Saturday, December 7th at St. Elizabeth Church located at 1060 St. Francis Way, in Denver, CO. The Rosary will begin at 9:30am followed by a Mass at 10 am.
