Guadalupe Marie Veramontes-Koval

Guadalupe Marie “Lupe” Veramontes-Koval, 39, of Colorado Springs, passed away on March 6, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on December 21, 1986, in Tucson, Arizona, to Ronald Veramontes, Sr., and Juanita Espinoza, Lupe married Branden Koval on June 5, 2010. Together they built a life centered on their three sons, Anthony, Colton, and Donavyn. Being their mother was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment.

Lupe was a devoted baseball mom known throughout the community as “Mama Lupe.” Whether cheering from the stands, encouraging every player, or offering a warm hug, she supported every child as if they were her own. She possessed a vibrant personality and a heart that loved deeply. Her warmth, unforgettable hugs, and genuine kindness made everyone around her feel instantly welcome. She brought laughter, energy, and comfort wherever she went.

To her family, Lupe was a fiercely loyal sister, a protective and loving aunt and Nina, and someone whose presence could light up any room. She is survived by her husband, Branden Koval; her sons, Anthony, Colton, and Donavyn; her father, Ronald Veramontes, Sr. (Cindy); her mother, Juanita Espinoza; her stepmother, Kimberly Dolan (Sean); and her mother-in-law, Susan Koval. She is also survived by her siblings Jessica (Mike) Veramontes-Nunez, Lorraine (Tosh) Welch, Ronald Veramontes Jr., Liz Dolan, and Sean Dolan; her sister-in-law Jacsmin Koval (Josh); her beloved nieces and nephews Gabriel, Avery, Ryder, Landon, Aviana, Addalyn, and McKenna; and her cherished grandmothers Lupe Diaz, Anita Hymer, and Mary Butler, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends.

Lupe was preceded in death by her stepfather, Mario Espinoza; her father-in-law, Darrell Fenton; her uncle, David Veramontes; her grandmothers Barbara Chana and Judy Fenton; and her grandfathers Leonard Chana, John Hymer, Ben Veramontes, and Daniel Duran.
