Ernestine Bueno
HELPER-Ernestine Bueno, age 76, went home to be with the Lord on Aug. 25, 2006 while surrounded by her loving family. She was born Aug. 22, 1930 in Center, Colo. to Esau and Mary O’cana Sanchez. She lived in the small farming community of Center until the age of 17.
Ernestine attended La Puente Bible College in Bakersfield, Calif. After Bible college she returned to Center to help in the small church; meanwhile, her parents and siblings relocated to Kenilworth, Utah. Her father worked in the coal mines. She soon relocated to Kenilworth as well.
While living in Utah, she met and married her husband Tony in 1949. In 1950, her parents and younger brothers and sisters moved to Pueblo, Colo. because her father accepted a job in the steel mill of Pueblo.
She always said the year of 1950 was the happiest and saddest time of her life. Happy because she had her first born; sad because her family had moved. She was happy to raise her family in Utah. Her husband Tony always made sure she spent two-three weeks out of every year visiting with her family in Pueblo.
She was always proud of her three children, Anthony, Lena and Helen. She was especially proud of her four grandchildren, Anthony, Melissa, Louis and Natalie.
Ernestine loved bragging about her grandchildren. If the grandchildren received any special awards or made any special accomplishments in school, she would make sure she would get the newspaper clipping, make copies, and send them off to her family in Pueblo. She always would say “my great-grandchildren are not cute, they’re beautiful.”
She loved traveling to Pueblo to visit with her sisters. She also liked taking an occasional trip to Wendover and Las Vegas. She loved listening to Elvis Presley’s gospel hymns. She liked collecting panda bear memorabilia and she enjoyed watching country music videos. She will be dearly missed by her family.
