Judith Diane Rino passed away peacefully on January 2, 2025, surrounded by
her loving family. Born on May 19, 1937, to Olga and John Seculo, Judy was the
eldest of three sisters, twins, Joyce and Jolleen.
Judy graduated from Holy Trinity School, class of 1955, in Trinidad, Colorado. In
1956, she married the love of her life, Joseph C. Rino, also of Trinidad. Together,
they built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and community.
A devout Catholic, Judy prayed daily and lived her faith through her actions. She
was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-
grandmother, daughter, sister, homemaker, and teacher. She embraced her roles
with love, grace, and dedication, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Judy led a full and active life, finding immense joy in supporting her four sons—Michael, Dennis, James, and Joseph—in all their endeavors. She was their number one fan, celebrating their achievements and providing unwavering encouragement.

Judy was raised in Trinidad, Colorado, and moved numerous times from California to Colorado before finally settling in Bloomfield, New Mexico. After retirement, Arizona was the next destination. Jude made one final move to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2015.
