FIDEL ARMIJO Obituary

FIDEL ARMIJO
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Fidel Armijo, known affectionately as "The Rooster," who departed this world peacefully and painlessly on August 26, 2025, in Santa Fe. Born on July 23, 1937, in Glorieta, Fidel lived a life rich in love and humanity, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of warmth that touched all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife, Marcella; his brother, Filimon Armijo; his goddaughter, Lori Roybal and many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and close friends who love him dearly. Fidel was predeceased by his parents, Luciano and Bonificia Armijo, brothers Ernest, Pedro, Isidro, his sister Mary Profilia and stepdaughters, and his stepson Eddie Ray Martinez.
Family and friends are invited to a Visitation Service scheduled for August 29, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM at Rivera Family Funerals & Cremations of Espanola in our Large Chapel, located at 305 Calle Salazar, Espanola, NM. Services are lovingly attended to by the compassionate team at Rivera Family Funeral Home in Espanola. We offer our most sincere condolences to all.
