Petra (Betty) Moreno, our loving mother, will be missed by many. She went home to be with our Lord and Savior on Oct. 24, 2008.

She was born Jan. 18, 1926, in Ft Morgan, Colo., and moved to Phoenix in 1943.

She is survived by her husband, Frank D. Moreno; 13 children, Sophia Kiggins, Frank Moreno Jr., Ofelia Fitzgerald, John Moreno, Isabel O'Neal, Fernando Moreno, Leepie Wrisk, Teeni Moreno, Toni Marie Foster, Benny Moreno, Patsi Moreno, Birdi Moreno and Eileen Copeland. One daughter, Mary Ann Maute, preceded her in death March 26, 1996. She is also survived by five siblings, David Castillo, Fernando Castillo, Bruno Castillo, Sophia Jullian and Ray Chavez.

There are 42 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren, who did appreciate her gentle, loving and faithful spirit and will continue to be grateful for her example of unfettered love and sacrifice.

It is with a mixture of sorrow at our loss and joy at her entering her new home in heaven that we celebrate and grieve at her passing.

We look forward to you seeing again, Mom, in the sweet by-and-by.

Thank you for your example of what a loving mother is.

Thank you for your strength of character. Thank you for your faith that you shared with us. As we honored in the flesh, now we also honor you in spirit. We love and miss you, Mom.
