Our Mom was a beloved Mom, Grandmother, Great-Nana and friend. A life long Taosena, she touched the lives of countless Taosenos during her career as the secretary to the Taos High School Principal's office and later as a case worker for the Taos County Welfare Department. Her generosity, smile, laughter, hugs and kisses will be missed but treasured forever. Evening service was held on February 09, 2006 at Rivera Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of our Mom to the Ranchos Presbyterian Church or to the charity of choice.
