Hatchitt -- James Thomas Hatchitt, 51, surrounded by people who loved him, died Wednesday, September 13th at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque. Jim suffered a heart attack from which he never regained consciousness on Saturday after playing golf with friends. In addition to golf, Jim loved people, sports, reading, music, singing, pizza, a good joke, movies and most of all his family. For the past few years, Jim was involved in the framing business at Affordable Frames and Frame Magic. For many years, Jim was a manager at Phillips Petroleum. A resident of Albuquerque since 1963, Jim graduated from Sandia High School in 1967, and attended ENMU & UNM. He also served in the Army National Guard. Born December 4, 1948 in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Jim attended Corpus Christi & Sacred Heart grade schools there. While his home and heart were in New Mexico, Jim married a Fort Dodge girl, Elizabeth Ann McGill on July 23, 1971. They enjoyed a love, devotion and genuine partnership that grew visibly throughout the years. Jim's true pride and joys in life revolved around his three children, Joe, Debbie and Jenny. An outstanding, dedicated husband and father, Jim never missed an event his children were involved in, was a true mentor in his children's lives and businesses, and always welcomed and was loved by his children's many friends. He was also actively involved for years in the Eldorado High School booster club. A true indication of the esteem Jim was held in by those who knew him, more than five dozen family and friends rallied around him during his final days. Jim had an outstanding sense of humor with an infectious, gleeful laugh, and a sparkle in his eye. An intense competitor in any entertainment games, Jim was intelligent, curious, and always made whatever he was involved in more fun for those around him. He leaves a void in the lives of everyone who was privileged enough to know him. We are eternally grateful for the additional nine years he lived after his first bout with heart trouble. We are grateful he survived the last five days to give us all an opportunity to say goodbye. He is survived by his beloved wife Elizabeth, son Joseph, daughters Deborah and Jennifer, his mother Mary Hatchitt, brother William & wife Cynthia, his sister Mary Ann Hatchitt, nephews and nieces, Kenneth Julie, Brian, & Stephanie Hatchitt all of Albuquerque, sister-in-law Mary McGill and husband Arthur & niece Clare Talley of Austin, Texas, and many aunts and cousins in New Mexico, Iowa and Nebraska.

He joined his father and brother in a better place on what would have been his brother Steve's 50th birthday. Jim has many loyal and devoted friends, particularly Mark Stock, who share in the loss and who have provided great comfort and support to his loved ones during these difficult days. The family wishes to thank the medical staff at Presbyterian who tended to him. Pallbearers will be William H. White, Bill Lew, Richard Sommers, Jim Smith, Robert M. Gatewood, and Gary Bigness. Honorary pallbearers are Joe & Mark Stock, Charlie Henshaw, Clark Sanchez, Jack Cutshall, Kenneth & Brian Hatchitt, William & Thomas White, and Arch Ramsden..

Pena -- Jacob Jason Pena September 15, 1977 - November 28, 1999 Happy Birthday! We love and miss you. God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered"Come with me" With tearful eyes we watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly; we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us...That he only takes the best! Its lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same, since you went away. When days are sad and long, we seem to hear you whisper,"Cheer up and carry on" Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say"Don't cry, I'm in God's hands, We'll meet again someday!

Privette -- Reverend Margaret Privette, 73, died early morning on September 13, 2000. Born in Colorado, moved to California, then finally resided in Albuquerque for the past 34 years. She dedicated most of her life to the Universal Church of the Holy Spirit. Her daughter, Dianne Privette; grandchildren, Cheri Hines and Toshi Bowling, all of Las Vegas; her brother, Reverend Paul Leake of Albuquerque; brothers, Pat and Chuck Leake, and her niece, Lori Box of Albuquerque survive her. Margaret was a woman who never gave in and never ceased to learn. She constantly kept herself busy doing volunteer works and still had time to make her accessible to people all over the world. She was a teacher in metaphysics, a psychic, a writer, a minister, and most of all, the most loving person whom ever lived. She was a living saint. Margaret possessed a high spirit, so profound a soul, and such treasures of metaphysical knowledge that she has definitely made her mark not only in this world, but will also do so in her New World to come. In Margaret's work and workshops, she always left people with an improved sense of self and a great enthusiasm for life. Her words of wisdom and healing were able to save many lives. When in her presence, she emitted an overwhelming aura that captured people's heart and soul. Never again, will there be another woman to replicate the doings of Margaret as a friend, mother or grandmother. We will miss her great sense of humor, her deep belly laugh, the twinkle in her eyes, and her dedication to her friendships and family. The Funeral Services will take place at the Universal Church of the Holy Spirit on Saturday, September 16, 2000 at 10:00 a.m. 509 Cardenas Dr SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108
