Mary M. - age 84 - Española Naranjo

Mary M. Naranjo, (Fola), 84, It is with heavy hearts and joyful souls we entrust our beautiful mother to her creator, mom took her last breath with her family by her side at her home at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Mary was preceded in death by her parents; Elfido and Beatriz Martinez, brother, Joe, her favorite son in law Alfredo Santistevan, and ex-husband Reyes T. Naranjo. Mom was the person while we were growing up who always provided the support and made us feel confident that we could accomplish anything we undertook if we are willing to work hard and not give up on ourselves. She has always been there with a positive word and a hug. She also taught us not to hate, to accept everyone for who they were. Each person is a world unto themselves and they all have goodness within them. Never give up on anyone; tell them you love them and have faith that in time God will guide them to make the right choices for their lives. This does not mean we will not experience anger or disappointments, we have to accept what has happened in life and that we cannot change. The important thing is how we reach and handle it. She also recently said it was time to realize she was dying. We are now trying to accept in our hearts what our mind already knew. Mom we did and always will love you – TODO TODO.
