Charles O. Romero, age 89, a resident of Córdova, NM, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 surrounded by his family.

Charles is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Ermelinda Romero, children, Patty Trujillo (Nick), Charlene Trujillo (Orlando), Clyde Romero (Veda), Larry Romero (Myrna), who he also thought of as a daughter, Mark Romero (Jessica), Joseph Romero (Crystal), Annabelle Romero, Timothy Romero and Johnny Sandoval (Melanie), special grandchildren who helped with his care, Julie Trujillo and Isaiah López, nephew who he considered a son, Steve Martínez, sisters, Oclides, Rosinia, Evila Romero and Viola Martínez, 21 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Charles retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory over 30 years ago where he was a custodian and was very proud of his work.
His favorite past time was anything outdoors from tending to his vegetable garden, to his farm animals, to spending time in the mountains. But nothing brought him the most joy than spending time with his family and his dog, Cody. His beautiful smile and big green eyes would shine the brightest when he was around his family. Charles was known as the sharpest dressed cowboy in Córdova, NM.
