Rogelio R. Olguin

May 17, 1943 - October 14, 2020

1943-2020 Rogelio R. Olguin, age 77, a lifelong resident of Jarales, passed away peacefully in his home on October 14, 2020. He was born on May 17, 1943, in Albuquerque, NM. Rogelio retired twice, once from Belen Consolidated Schools and once from Isleta Casino. Rogelio also served in the Army National Guard for 21 years. His work ethic is one of his well-known traits and he worked hard to make sure his family was well taken care of. Rogelio made sure to pass on this work ethic to his children and grandchildren. He was known for his welcoming nature and his love of humor. These traits made Rogelio loved by those who met and knew him. At home, he was most often found working outside keeping his yard pristine. If you ask his wife, she will say that he spoiled her and made sure her roses were always looking beautiful. Rogelio was preceded in death by three children, Randy Olguin, Leo Olguin and Anthony Olguin. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife, Rosella Olguin; his siblings, Avilio Olguin, Viola Olguin-Montoya, Ferlian Olguin, Augustine Olguin, David Olguin, Mary Piaz, and Larry Olguin; and his children, Ramon Olguin, Christian Olguin and Cynthia Gutierrez; his grandchildren, Carlos Maestas-Olguin, Jennifer Jones, Nathaniel Olguin, Jacob Sanchez and April Sanchez, as well as many more loving family and friends. The Olguin family would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the Presbyterian Hospice care staff for their efforts in keeping Rogelio comfortable in his final days. A memorial event in his honor is planned for a later date. There are no services planned at this time. Please sign Rogelio’s online tribute at www.romerofuneralhomenm.com Romero Funeral Home, 609 N.
