BROCK -- Joan Tafoya Brock, 75, a resident of Espanola, passed away on Tuesday, March 6, 2007 following a sudden illness. Although her spirit was strong, her body grew weak and she passed peacefully with all of her loving children and grandchildren at her side. She was born in Tucumcari, NM to the late Nicanor and Lola Mae Tafoya. She graduated in 1952 from the University of New Mexico with a bachelor's degree in education. She was married to Harold Brock until his passing in 2004. While Harold was in the Army, Joan taught high school English in Fort Riley, Kansas. In 1969 she began her involvement with the 4-H program in Rio Arriba County. She was co-leader of the Jo-Gi-Ro 4-H Club, becoming Organizational Leader in 1974 upon the retirement of her dear friend Mrs. Elberta Honstein. Mrs. Brock stressed the importance of the county, district and state competitions. She always trained her club members to think and speak on their feet in front of audiences. Every 4-H member in Mrs. Brock's club commented year after year on how much their participation in the various 4-H contests helped them gain confidence in other areas of their lives. Mrs. Brock assumed numerous roles in the 4-H program including 12 years as Rio Arriba County Fairboard President, 4-H Foundation trustee, fair advisory board, and fair superintendent. She was also a founding member of the New Mexico 4-H Foundation serving for five years. During her tenure as Fairboard President she was instrumental in establishing the Rio Arriba County Fair facility in Arroyo Seco, resulting in the completion of the "green exhibit building", horse arena and rodeo grounds. Mrs. Brock's club impacted the lives of more than 750 young people ranging in age from nine years through high school graduation. The kids loved her. One of the highlights of her 4-H career was when she was presented State 4-H Leader of the year at the Western Regional Leader Forum in Spokane, Washington. After more than 30 years with the 4-H Program she retired in 2002. In 2003 she was inducted into the 4-H Hall of Fame. Joan was also active in the Espanola Garden Club, she was a "pink lady" with the Espanola Hospital Auxiliary and she was named Espanola Chamber of Commerce "Woman of the Year". Joanie will always be remembered as a fun loving, outgoing and genuine person. Her infant son, Steven Lewis Brock, her parents, and brother Donald, preceded her in death. She is survived by daughter, Janis Brock of Rio Rancho; daughter, Sharon Redman and husband David; son, Bryan Brock and wife Anna of Espanola; grandchildren, Allison, Ashley, Adam, Stephanie, Melissa, Kevin, and Bryan Rey; three great-grandchildren and many wonderful friends.

ORTIZ Y PINO -- Pedro (Peter) Ortiz y Pino, born June 17, 1918, went to his reward at the age of 88 on Tuesday, March 6, 2007 after a long, loving and productive life. He was preceded in death by his wife, Evangeline; and by all of his family of his generation: sisters, Virginia Ortiz, Reynalda Dinkel; brother, Arthur Ortiz; cousins, Frank Ortiz y Davis, Josefita Gomez, Concha Ortiz y Pino de Kleven, and Mela Martin. Pete leaves behind a large family whose sorrow at his loss is tempered by their knowledge that his values and his ideals will continue to shape our own work and lives. He is survived by six children, Gerald Ortiz y Pino and wife, Donna Bruzzese, Louise Stevenson and husband, Leroy, Michael, Roberta White, Loretta and partner, Callie Williams, Paul and wife, Jana; 18 grandchildren and step-grandchildren and 10 of their spouses; 22 great-grandchildren and step-grandchildren; brother-in-law, Edward Digneo of Santa Fe and his children, Vincent Digneo and Bernadette Gould; niece Judith Hasted and nephew Ronald Dinkel of Santa Fe; nephews Arturo and Nelson Ortiz and families of Caracas, Venezuela. Pete was born in Galisteo, NM in 1918 and was orphaned at an early age by the devastations of the influenza epidemic. He and his sisters were reared on the large family ranch in Galisteo by his grandfather, Juan, his aunts and his uncle, Jose Ortiz y Pino. Pete went to St. Michael's boarding school for his entire 12 years of education. He attended New Mexico A & M for two years, studying animal husbandry to improve operations of the family ranch and married Evangeline (Vangie) Blanchard in Santa Fe in 1941. A heart condition kept Pete out of the armed services during the War, so he turned to public service in state government instead, working initially for Victor Salazar at the Bureau of Revenue where he eventually assumed the position of Deputy Director. His expertise in state taxation policy stood him good stead when the winds of political change ended his governmental service in the mid 1950's. Pete began his own bookkeeping firm and within a few years was invited to join the operations of one of his major clients, Sabre Pinon, a company at the forefront of the new uranium mining industry in the state. Sabre Pinon over time and mergers became United Nuclear Corporation and he eventually retired from that company in 1978 after serving as treasurer and comptroller of the mining and milling division. Pete and Vangie moved to Albuquerque in the mid 1970's after bringing up their family of six children in Santa Fe. He and his son, Michael, at this time began a series of businesses in Santa Fe, including Medi-Car Auto Services and Los Campos RV Park. In his retirement, Pete became deeply involved with volunteer work at St. Charles Borromeo Parish and at St. Joseph's Hospital. At the parish he was a lector, a Eucharistic minister, and a member of the Holy Name Society and the Parish Council. Pete also joined the Serra Club, a Catholic men's organization that raises funds to support seminarians preparing for the priesthood. With the Serrans, he and Vangie traveled to meetings in Latin America and Europe. They also went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Rome led by Archbishop Sheehan. Pete was always a strong and vocal Lobo fan, possessor of season tickets for both football and basketball. Thus it was that on February 14, 1998, he suffered a serious stroke while watching a game at the Pit. Before he had fully recovered, he lost Vangie to a sudden, devastating cancer in 2000. Pete's last years were spent at Marler Manor, a small, personalized assisted care facility. Rosary will be recited on Friday, March 9, 2007, 7:30 p.m., at French Mortuary, Wyoming Blvd. Chapel, 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE. Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 10, 2007, 9:30 a.m., at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 1818 Coal Place SE. Interment will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Pete's name to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe's Serra Club, the organization that he was so active in establishing, 4000 St. Joseph's Place NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120.
