She was a feisty woman full of charisma and love for her family.  She was the life of the party, always telling jokes and loved to dance. She retired from the food service industry having worked at several places including the NM Behavioral Health Department, West Las Vegas Schools, and El Rialto Restaurant. She was well known in the community and anywhere she went someone always recognized and greeted her. Besides cooking in the industry she loved to cook for friends and family and welcomed anyone to a homemade meal.  She loved reading, fishing, and gambling, but what she loved most were family gatherings.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. She received prayer, last rites and blessing at home before her passing. To abide by her wishes there will be no services. The family will conduct a private burial at a later date.

Arrangements are entrusted to and under the care of Rogers Mortuary 600 Reynolds Ave Las Vegas, NM 87701 505-425-3511 or 1-800-479-3511.
