Obituary

Jozlin Nadine Altamirano, of Ordway, Colorado entered into rest, December 15, 2021. She was born July 30, 2004, in Pueblo, Colorado to Luis Altamirano, Jr. and Cynthia Nadine Crouch-Aragon. She was 17 years of age.

Jozlin is survived by her parents; step-mother Tiffany Gaskill; step-father Patrick Aragon; grandfather Luis Altamirano, Sr. and Larry Gaskill; grandmothers Lindee Klippel and Stephanie Jo Storrer; sister Jazmin Nechole Altamirano; step-siblings Amelia Aragon, Damian Aragon, Andrea Crafton, Andrew Crafton, and Cadence Gaskill; aunts Michelle Moelier, Twila Tafoya, Maria Alvey, Samantha Crouch, Krystal Hupp, and Mary Mondragon; uncles Richard Tafoya, Nathaniel Crouch, and Robbie Hupp; cousins Anthony Tafoya, Suede Altamirano, Jacquelin Alvey, Ashlyn Alvey, Mario Kaufmann, Sienna Haynes, Lily Haynes, Skyler Tafoya, Emily Crouch, Augustus Crouch, Landen Crouch, Cole Crouch, Mark Trujillo, and Payton Hupp. Jozlin is preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Steve and Melba McDonell; grandmother, Dixie Altamirano; and aunt, Vicky McDonell.

Throughout her life, Jozlin was a loving daughter who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Stubborn yet big hearted, Jozlin cherished the relationships she shared with those close to her and shared a special bond with babies. She spoke often of her soon-to-be infant sibling Gracelyn Cecilia Nadine Altamirano who was actually born Tuesday, December 21, 2021 and how she was going to be the “best big sister." Jozlin had an infectious smile and enjoyed life to its fullest. Her favorite color was blue, and she will be remembered for her love of whales, Grey’s Anatomy, and eating Oreos.

Jozlin’s family wishes to thank all her closest friends. Your kind hearts and the laughter and joy you brought to Jozlin will never be forgotten. We will all miss her dearly.

A visitation will be held from 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Sunday, December 26, 2021. A 2:00 P.M. Funeral Service celebrating Jozlin’s life will be held Monday, December 27, 2021. The Visitation and Funeral will both be held at the First United Methodist Church of Rocky Ford. Pastor Marty Lee will be officiating.
