Fidel Naranjo "Seng T'sa, " age 82 from Santa Clara Pueblo, passed on in 2018, after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was born on January 22, 1936 to Jose G. & Madeline Naranjo of Santa Clara Pueblo. He was the oldest of four siblings: Joseph, France and Gabriel Naranjo.

After graduating from Española High, he joined the army to serve our country. After his return from the service he married his late wife Tonita Naranjo and went on to have four children of his own: Fidel Jr. Priscilla, Yvonne and Maxine Naranjo. He was blessed with three grandkids and two great-grandkids.

Fidel was a generous man who was always willing to help others. He worked as Director of the Santa Clara Rehabilitation Center for many years, then went into social services where he retired.

He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing in his beloved Santa Clara canyon. He also loved gardening and at harvest time every year he would share his crop with the community and others. He was a strong person who always saw the positive side in different situations, and never let anything bring him down. He lived life to the fullest and every moment of it. What really put a smile on his face was his love for his great-grandkids Micheala, Toni and Lucas.

Fidel is survived by his mother Madeline G. Naranjo; siblings Joseph and Frances Naranjo; children Fidel Jr.

Fidel also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews, and of course his furry four-legged daughter "Okhowa Povi, " grandsons Danny and Anthony Naranjo.
