Dorothy Romero

Dorothy Chacon Romero passed away on June 18, 2021 surrounded by her family. Dorothy was born on March 5, 1942 to Catarino Chacon and Margaret Hernandez Chacon in Bingham Canyon, Utah.  She married Frank Romero on September 24, 1960 in Bingham Canyon, Utah. Survived by her husband Frank Romero, daughters Valerie Lopez (David), Doreen Velarde (Larry), Tammy Carrillo (James), nine grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandson.  Preceded in death by her father Catarino Chacon and mother Margaret Chacon, sister Gloria Chacon, and great grandson, Mocoy Velarde.

Dorothy was a dedicated mother and grandmother. She loved spending time caring and cooking for her family. She had a wonderful, witty sense of humor. Her laugh and smile will be missed. She was a devout Catholic and raised her family in the Catholic faith. One of her fondest memories was a pilgrimage to the Vatican, Portugal, France, and Spain.

We would like to thank the Lighten Home Health and Hospice for their extraordinary care and attention. We would also like to thank and express our gratitude to Chris, Cathy, Jacque, and Clara for their extra love, warmth, care, and support for Dorothy.
