“Gone from our sight, but never from our heart.” Amy was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and friend. She was loved by all and will be deeply missed.
Mrs. Robles had one of the hardest jobs of all, raising 10 children and a Viejo of a husband. She loved family, Denver Broncos, The Rockies, crocheting, and last but certainly not least, cooking. Amy enjoyed being an entrepreneur, whether she was running her restaurant or selling tamales, burritos and Mexican pastries for town gatherings, cooking and baking was one of her many talents. We will always cherish the memories made from family reunions, hay days and community yard sales, thanks to Grandmo and Grandpo.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Albertano Robles, her parents, her daughter, Hortensia and Martin Ramirez, granddaughter, Jessica Gallegos, grandson, Christopher Gallegos, grandson-in-law, Derrick Dyck and nine brothers and sisters.
