Guadalupe ‘Lupe’ Arbizo

  It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Guadalupe Arbizo, lovingly known as “Lupe” at the age of78. She passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on Sept. 3, 2025, in Mesa, AZ.

  Born in Esqueda, Mexico on June 7, 1947, Lupe moved to Winkelman, AZ in her youth where she and Ramon raised three children, Sonia, Carlos (deceased), and Leti. She is also survived by her six grandchildren, Carlos, Lizette, Anthony, Cristian, Briella and Gabriel.

  She devoted her life to staying home to raise her kids as her faith in God and her family were the most important things to her. Lupe’s presence was felt deeply by everyone who knew her. She was known for her tough yet loving nature, her honesty, and her sharp sense of humor. Whether she was shopping, enjoying a burger from In-N-Out, or trying her luck at the casino, she had a way of making every little moment special. Above all, she loved her family dearly, and her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

  Lupe will be greatly missed, but we take comfort in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with her son Carlos.

  Services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Hayden, AZ. The viewing will begin at 9 a.m., followed by the Rosary at 9:30 a.m. and the Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Interment will follow immediately after the service.

  We invite all family and friends to join us in celebrating the life of Lupe. Her legacy of love, strength, and laughter will forever remain in our hearts.
