Our beloved Effie Mary Gallegos, 86, went to be with our Heavenly Father on February 23, in

the year of our Lord 2024.

Effie was born in Manassa, Colorado on December 18, 1937, the loving daughter to Augustine

LeFebre and Refugio DeHerrera LeFebre. She married Michael A. Gallegos at the St. Joseph

Catholic Church in Capulin, Colorado on August 22, 1955.

Effie was an extraordinary soul who opened her heart and home to everyone. She spent the

majority of her life caring for others. Her radiant light and warmth were given freely and affected

everyone around her. Throughout the years she had been a masterful seamstress. Effie made

many articles of clothing for herself, family and friends. She was a tireless steward of God and

maintained a sassy and humorous disposition in every situation. She enjoyed creating in her

crafts, cooking, and baking and her care and devotion for her family and animals was

unmatched. She will be remembered reverently by everyone for her unwavering love and

optimistic personality.
