Elizabeth Ellen Groh

Elizabeth Ellen (Slaviero) Groh, 66, of Parker, CO passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 7, 2026 in Westminster, CO. Born on May 13, 1959 in Cleveland, OH, she was the oldest child of the late Charles and Jean (Wheeler) Goerth. Elizabeth (Lise) spent her childhood with her two siblings in Evanston, IL, and their home on Park Place became a fond memory for her own children years later.

She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Loyola University of Chicago, majoring in Political Science. Being the daughter of a trust and estate lawyer, Lise thought she’d give the legal field a chance but decided that law wasn’t for her and instead tried sales, which led to a successful and decades long career.

In the 1980s, Lise relocated to the Philadelphia suburbs where her three daughters were later born and raised. Her daughters meant everything to her. For a time, Lise was a single parent, and she instilled a relentless work ethic and independence into her children. With her background in political science, Lise was incredibly smart, loved history and current affairs, and frequently had a book in hand or an audiobook playing. Lise will be missed dearly by her family, friends, and coworkers of many years.

She is survived by her daughters, Alexandra (Andrew) Cook of Chester Springs, PA, Olivia Slaviero of Westminster, CO, and Bella Slaviero of West Chester, PA, granddaughters Morgan Cook and Lucy Duckworth, sister Gretchen (James) Baxter, brother Stephen (Kimberly) Goerth, stepsons Ian, Austin, and Jordan Groh, and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be private.

Angela D. Garcia

Angela D. Garcia, 'Angie' was born on August 2, 1944, and passed away unexpectedly, at the age of 81, on February 14, 2026, 8:42 a.m. at Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital. She was surrounded by her loving family and friends after her passing. Angie is proceeded in death by her parents, Felix Gallegos, Mabel Garcia, stepfather Roger Garcia, her Son Son, Jose C. Garcia, Granddaughter, Serena D. Aguilar, Brothers Rudolph Gallegos, Roger Gallegos, Sister, Patricia Gallegos, Grandpup Buddy, and several other loving family members. She is survived by her Loving Daughter, Sylvia (Art), Granddaughter Jessica (Kaley), Granddaughter Nicole, Great-Grandson Niko, Sister Rama (Phil), Sister Connie, Brother Gilbert (Liz), Brother Albert (Dawn), Brother Michael (Kathy), Godsons, nephews, nieces and other family members and friends.

Angie was born in Del Norte, Colorado to Felix Gallegos and Mabel Garcia. She was the oldest of 9 siblings. They moved to Denver, when she was a teenager after the passing of their father. She helped her mom with her 8 siblings who she loved very much. She graduated from Denver North High School, worked, and later married Jose Garcia. In 1971, her daughter, Sylvia was born, and in 1975, her son Jose was born. In 1978, she became a single mom to her two young children. They were her world and she always put them first. We were the three Musketeers!

Angie lived in Arvada, Co for the past 25 years. She worked for Coffee Chef Catering/Blue Sky where she made food to be sold through the food trucks. She did that for over 23 years. She was a huge Broncos, Nuggets, and Rockies fan no matter win or lose. She enjoyed growing up in the 50's and 60's and let me tell you, she was a HUGE fan of Elvis Presley! Even at 81 years old she still moved her hips like Elvis. She really loved cooking, summer barbeques, anything that brought family together, music, dancing, sunrises, sunsets, the moon, just being outdoors, car shows, word search books, math, gambling, scratch offs, and in her younger days fishing, hunting, and camping. Her favorite colors were red, dark green, and yellow. Her most pride and joy were her children, Sylvia and Jose, her grandchildren, Jessica, Serena, Nicole, great-grandchild her Baby Niko, Granddaughter-in-law, Kaley, and her Son-in-law, Art.

Angie's life changed after losing her Son, Jose, but she pushed through and enjoyed life with all of us. She was so beautiful inside and out. She was very loving, caring, respectful, polite, very helpful, and a great listener who wouldn't judge. She had such a sweet soul! She just loved everyone and everyone loved her. Jose and I were so honored that she was our Mama, our Mom. My brother Jose was her Son Son and I was her Weda. Now two of the three Musketeers are in Heaven watching over us and the last Musketeer will keep their legacy going.

We will all miss her tremendously!!!

Delfino Palomino Fernandez

Some people live quiet lives, and others leave stories wherever they go. Delfino Palomino Fernandez was the kind of man whose life could be measured not just in years, but in the laughter he shared, the miles he traveled, and the people he helped along the way.

Delfino Palomino Fernandez was born on November 2, 1947, in La Sandía, Guanajuato, Mexico. He spent his early years growing up in Sarabia, Guanajuato, where the roots of his character were planted—hard work, resilience, and a deep love for family and culture. Those who knew Delfino knew he was a stubborn man in the best way possible. Once he set his mind to something, there was no changing it. But behind that stubbornness was a heart bigger than most people ever encounter. Delfino was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back to someone in need. Helping others was simply part of who he was.

He carried joy with him wherever he went. Delfino loved the simple pleasures of life: a game of 8-ball pool, music playing loudly at family parties, time spent fishing, and being surrounded by nature. He loved gathering with people, sharing stories, and filling rooms with laughter. Though he lived in many places and experienced many things in life, he always stayed deeply connected to his Mexican heritage. Delfino never forgot where he came from, and he proudly carried his culture with him everywhere he went. If given the choice, he would always choose beans and tortillas over a hamburger, a small but perfect reminder of the home and traditions he cherished.

Above all, Delfino was a father. He leaves behind four sons: Chris Medina Fernandez, Matt Medina Fernandez, Delfino Jr. Fernandez, and Alexander Fernandez. He also leaves behind two grandchildren, Azari Fernandez and Miles, who will continue to carry pieces of his spirit forward. His family was the center of his world, and his presence in their lives will forever remain.

To those who knew him best, Delfino was more than just a father or friend—he was a force of nature. He could be stubborn, yes, but he was also funny, strong, and deeply loving. His heart was immense, and he always looked out for the people he cared about, especially his children.

His son Alexander shared that he loved his father deeply. Though Delfino could be stubborn, he was also a man with the biggest heart, someone who always made sure to look for his son and be there when it mattered. That kind of love leaves a mark that time can never erase.

On February 22, 2026, Delfino Palomino Fernandez passed away, leaving behind a lifetime of stories, memories, and love that will continue to live on through his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Though he is no longer here with us, the lessons he lived by hard work, generosity, laughter, and pride in who you are will remain. His spirit will live on in the music at family gatherings, the quiet moments in nature, the crack of pool balls across a table, and in every plate of beans and tortillas shared with the people we love.

Delfino’s journey on this earth may have come to an end, but the love he gave will continue to echo through generations.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
