Nora G. Lozano

Age 81, of Highland, formerly of Colorado and South Dearing, passed away on Saturday, August 17, 2024. Nora is survived by her loving children, Joel (Juanita) Archuleta and Gail (Daniel) Galich; precious grandchildren: Juanita Archuleta, David (Lanora) Garibay, Alexander Tellez, Carl (Diana) Garibay, Christopher Tellez, Steven Butts, Daniel (Angela) Garibay, Celeste Butts, and Gina (Arron) Hinton; 14 great-grandchildren and one on the way; and siblings: Ida (Eugene) Martinez, Henry (Francis) Aranda, Diana Williams, and Gilbert (Kimberly) Manzanares.

Nora enjoyed a fulfilling career before retiring with the Chicago Tribune and City Colleges of Chicago. Nora was an enthusiastic and compassionate community activist and her spirit of volunteerism was evident in her years as a Girl Scout leader. Dancing was one of her favorite loves and she never missed an opportunity to share a dance and spread happiness.

She was a devoted and active member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. She was also a proud member of Our Lady of Grace Church and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus. If anyone ever needed a prayer, Nora was the one they turned to—her faithfulness and commitment to her beliefs were unwavering.
