Delores Angelina Muniz June 19, 1943 - November 28, 2021

Delores Angelina Muniz passed away peacefully, at the age of 78, at her home in Payson, Utah, on November 28, 2021. Delores is survived by her three sons: Tony (Christine) Muniz, Carl (Kristin) Muniz, and Paul (Karolee) Muniz; nine grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. Delores is also survived by her sister, Chris Bruce; and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Delores was born June 19, 1943, in Fruita, Colorado. She graduated from East Carbon High School. It was there, in East Carbon, where she met the love of her life, Ray Muniz. They were married August 26, 1967. They lived in Provo, Spanish Fork, and then moved to Payson, Utah, where they have resided for the past 48 years.

Delores had a variety of jobs throughout her life. She worked for Nebo School District as a lunch lady, as a seamstress for Fritzi’s, worked at JCPenney Warehouse, and also Associated Foods. However, her most important job was taking care of her family, whom she loved very much. Delores was so proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was known to show pictures of her family to all the businesses in Payson, and even to complete strangers, so she could brag about all their accomplishments.

Delores fought a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease for the past few years. Even though she lost her ability to speak, her ability to walk by herself, and the ability to do the daily activities she enjoyed, she remained positive. Even as Delores suffered with this disease, her family was always still her main concern. She would always make sure everyone had money for lunch, gas in your car, and steaks in your freezer.

She had a lot of friends within the community and each one of them would tell you that Delores was the sweetest person, who never said a mean word about anyone. Delores enjoyed going to movies, Monday morning coffee, and walking with her friends.

Delores is preceded in death by her husband, Ray Muniz; parents, Filadelfio and Josie Lobato; brothers: Kenny, Elmer, and Leland Lobato; sisters, Patsy Lobato and Jaunita Archuleta.

    Thinking of you and your beautiful family. I remember cousin Delores for the beautiful dolls she made for me when I was a child. She has always been so thoughtful towards my Mom, as well. Prayers, love and cherished memories.
