Rose Marie Archuleta Trujillo
October 1, 1939 ~ August 2, 2026  
Our sweet and beautiful Mom, Rose Marie Archuleta Trujillo, passed away peacefully late Sunday, August 2, 2026. Rose was born October 1, 1939, to Rosendo J. (Jimmy) Archuleta and Opal Leona Bates. She was married to Monico Trujillo, April 20, 1960, and later divorced, January 28, 2000.
Survived by her children James Trujillo (Peggy), AnnMarie Nielson (James), Monico Trujillo, son-in-law Fredrik Svensson; and brother James J. Archuleta (Carol). Mom has 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by her daughter Jennifer Svensson and her brother Richard J. Archuleta.
Mom and her brothers attended Kearns-St. Ann Orphanage school, followed by LaFayette Elementary, Horace Mann Jr. High and graduating from West High School in 1957. Mom worked at the State Capitol as a secretary for many years. Then worked at Blodgetts, then on to Rocky Mountain Data.
Family was Rose’s passion. She also loved to celebrate all of the holidays. She would always make sure everyone had a place at her kitchen table including countless aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. 
Mom loved attending Mass at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, where she made many friends and enjoyed volunteering. Later in her life, working in the kitchen serving students lunch brought her much joy. Mom made friends everywhere she went including Welcome Home Assisted Living, where she lived the past four years. 
Our family would like to give a special thank you to Welcome Home, Bruce, Nicole, Becky, Myra, Jocee, Mama, Justo, Daniel and Amanda for adding so much joy over the past four years. We also want to thank Stacie at Rocky Mountain Home Care for her nursing care and friendship! Thank you to Dr. Rebecca Moore and her staff, Mindy, Julie and Tammy for their amazing care and gentle manner with our cute mom since 2018. And a final thank you to Abbey and Maria who took such good care of mom in her final days.
