Mom will be remembered by her beautiful laughter and love, she expressed for friends and family. Most of all of her children and grandchildren. She loved her roots, her dirt in New Mexico. As she would call it her “brown.” She was an avid reader especially in NM history and culture. We will miss our mother dearly, but we know she is at peace in Heaven.
