Stanley "Spud" David Mena

Stanley “Spud” David Mena
Our hearts were broken on Monday, July 26, 2021, when our loving husband, amazing dad, and doting grandfather left us to continue his spiritual journey. Stanley was born on May 7, 1939, in Pueblo, to Simon and Josephine Mena. Stanley attended Pueblo Catholic High School, where he excelled in athletics. During his senior year, he was introduced to the love of his life and best friend, Loretta “Lorie” Muhic. From the moment they met, every life decision, albeit large or small, they made together for the next 63 years. Stanley wore many hats in his life. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy, he was a Deputy on the Pueblo Sheriff’s Dept., a State Liquor Enforcement Officer, a Polygraph Examiner, and a successful entrepreneur. While Stanley’s accomplishments were many, his love and devotion to his family will be his greatest legacy. Stanley is survived by his loving wife, Lorie; sons, Cory (Rosie) Mena, David Mena; daughter, Kelly (Keith Hart) Rush; along with five grandchildren, Nichole Herrera, Sigourney Rush, Craig Rush Jr., Stephanie (Jorge Mier) Mena and Andrea Mena; great- grandchildren, Elisabeth, Grae, and Ricky; sister, Peggy LaRocca; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Simon and Josephine Mena; and sister, Rosemary Goodwin. Eulogy 9:45 a.m., with Mass to follow at 10 a.m., Thursday, August, 19, 2021, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1145 S. Aspen Rd. Veteran’s Ritual Team after Mass, with reception to immediately follow. The church requests you please arrive by 9:30 a.m. There will be livestreaming on the church’s facebook page.
