Guadalupe “Lupe” Gallardo (Pineda, Tyler) went to Heaven on Dec. 30, 2018, welcomed by the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Mom Lupe was born Nov. 29, 1928, in Los Angeles (the city of Angels), Calif. She grew up in foster care, leaving at the age of 16 because she was not treated well. She had her first son, Ignacio (Butch) Mura Jr. (wife, Bobbie) at the age of 17. Mom Lupe married William J. Tyler (pre-deceased by) and had William J. Tyler Jr., (Plookum; pre-deceased by), Jimmie Lee Tyler (also known as James Edward LaFever), Johnny E. Tyler and Joaquin S. Tyler.
Lupe’s last marriage was to Fred Gallardo, who asked Jim and Janet LaFever to care for her should he pass away first (February 2008).
Lupe lived in Cheney, Wash. the last 10 1/2 years under the loving care of her son Jim and daughter-in-law Janet (an RN, retired). She had many visits from her son Joaquin (wife, Gail) and his family; from grandchildren and great-grandchildren over the years. Mom’s first birthday party was at the age of 80, a surprise for her; she was so loved by family, church and community. She was blessed!
Lupe is survived by four sons, three daughters-in-laws, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; three sisters, and nieces, nephews, caregivers, church and community, and her sweet little dog, Chico.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Hospice of Spokane or any other charity of your choice.
A rosary will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 9 at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Cheney. at 7 p.m. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, Jan. 10 at St. Rose of Lima at 11 a.m.
Thank you to all caregivers who have helped care for mom over the years, especially Elena and family, Bernice and Lana. Special thanks also to Jerry and Barbara Beha, and Steve and Lydia Griffith as well.
We will miss our sweet mom/grandma/great-grandma/sister/friend. We are comforted that Heaven has a sweet angel.
