Obituary For Eugenia Villalta

Eugenia Azucena Villalta of Grande Prairie, AB, passed away on Thursday, September 10, 2015 at the QEII Hospital at the age of 63 years.

Born in Managua, Nicaragua on December 2, 1951 to Fidel Villalta Menbreno and Luz Perez. Eugenia moved to Grande Prairie in April 1989, and acquired Canadian citizenship in 1993.

Eugenia worked hard as a police officer in Nicaragua, and later as a payroll clerk with the Pomeroy Group. She was also Pomeroy Lodging’s 2012 Employee of the Year, and a graduate of Grande Prairie Regional College’s Business Career College. Eugenia will be remembered as a hard worker, amazing Mother, beloved Grandmother, and to many in the restaurant industry, as “Mamma”.

Eugenia is survived by her four daughters: Wendy Widdy, Kenia Guerrero, Maria Jesus Guerrero, and Maria Cristo Guerrero; and four grandchildren: Jaden Thistle, Zoie Thistle, Andre Guerrero and Paisley Sicat.

Eugenia had a big personality. She was caring, compassionate, loving, kind, and had a zest for life - she would dance and laugh where ever she pleased. Her strength, courage, big smile, warm heart and positive energy radiated where ever she went.

A Funeral Mass for Eugenia will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 9:00am at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Grande Prairie (10404 102 St.); with Father Remi Hebert C.Ss.R. presiding and lunch to follow.

Memorial donations may be made in memory of Eugenia, to the QEII Hospital Foundation - Cancer Clinic (10409 98 St. Grande Prairie, AB T8V 2E8).

    We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Eugenia. We remember with such fondness, getting to know your mother and you girls when you first arrived in GP. Your mom stood out as such a caring and nurturing mother and a fun-loving person. She took such good care of you all. She was a good friend to many. I know Helen will miss your mom. Thinking of you all at this very sad time. Love, Steve and Marie

    I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. I worked in payroll with Eugenia at Pomeroy and she was always the highlight of my day. I encouraged her to be confident of herself and her work, after all she was an amazing, super sweet, strong and smart woman. She even used to make my son and I soup and other delicious food when we were sick, a true gem. Debbie

    My sincerest condolences to all of you. Your mom would be so proud of her girls. You were there just to care for and love her during her illness and I know that is because she was always such a beautiful mother to you all. Keep telling those funny stories and the good memories. Those will help you in the days ahead. Con mucho carina. La Helen
