Mayra Elizabeth Lucero, 17, died Wednesday, August 17, 2022, at Wesley
Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. She was born May 18, 2005, in Garden
City, Kansas the daughter of Fannie Rios and Mark Lucero.
Mayra has been a lifetime resident of Garden City. She attended
Garden City schools and graduated from Garden City High School on May
14, 2022. She graduated early and was ready for college at Fort Hays
State University to pursue her career as a nurse, in order to save
lives. Mayra was loving, caring and most outgoing. She never held a
grudge and always looked ahead in life.
Mayra was a sister, niece,
daughter, and a friend who always looked out for everyone. She was the
humblest teen and always made sure to put others first. She was
extremely excited for college and her number 1 goal in life was to
become a Registered Nurse to be able to take care of her mom and others
in need. Mayra left this world as the hero she wanted to be by saving
the lives of others as an organ donor. That’s exactly what she died;
she saved 4 loves when she gained her wings.
Mayra’s hobbies include dancing, singing, swimming, and making Tik
Tok videos. She also loved spending time with her friends and family.
