Margaret Olivia “Lieve” Rico

It is with deep sadness that we report the death of Margaret Olivia (“Lieve”). Margaret Olivia grew up in Phoenix with her loving parents Inez and the late Jesse Valdez Sr. as well as her loving brother Jesse Jr. Margaret Olivia attended St. Mary’s High School. Margaret Olivia was all things to so many people; a loving wife to Joe, an adoring Mother to J.J., Grandma to Joaquin and Diego, a proud daughter, sister, mother in-law, niece, and cousin to her family members and a great friend to us all. Margaret was always there when you needed her. It is hard for anyone who knew Margaret Olivia to understand how such a loving and caring person could leave us so soon. Heaven truly must have been missing a guardian angel. We will always love you Margaret Olivia and keep your wonderful memory with us as comfort. Her family and friends will join together for a Funeral Mass on Friday, November 9th at 10:30am with the Rosary beginning at 10am at St. Agnes Catholic Church, 1954 N 24th St. Phoenix, AZ.
