Mary was born December 15, 1926, to Able and Beatrice Saiz. Mary had two older sisters Stella and Dolores. The family lived in Exeter, Nebraska until moving to Pueblo, Colorado to live closer to family when Mary was a young girl.
On November 15, 1952, Mary married Joseph Norwood in Englewood, Colorado. Mary and Joe enjoyed their life in Lakewood, Colorado. They were active in their church and enjoyed spending time with their family. In October 1965, Mary and Joe welcomed a son, Stephen Allen Norwood, to their family. Mary was an exceptional wife and mother. As a family, they enjoyed doing many activities including spending time outside together. Camping and skiing was the family favorites!
Mary was a woman of faith who loved her Lord, her family and her church. She would attend Sunday services at Emmanuel Baptist Church and loved listening to Pastor Norman spread the word of God. Attending church services and being a part of the Bible study group was something Mary was devoted to.
Mary is survived by her daughter in-law Kimberly Norwood, grandchildren Erin and Lindsey Norwood and by many adoring nieces, nephews and cousins. She loved her family dearly and considered everyone her mija or mijo. Auntie Lupita will be fondly remembered and missed by all those who knew and loved her.
