SUSAN L. Susan, wife, mother, grandmother, mentor, friend, and artist, born December 23, 1936 and left us on November 2, 2011 in Las Cruces, NM. She is survived by her husband Pete; sons Scott and Melissa Lucero, Peter and wife Angelica; three grandchildren, Chase, Olaia, and Neve. All of us have lost a unique and elegant star with Susan's passing. Godspeed Susan, you are forever in our hearts. Susan grew up in Laguna Beach, California, a thriving art community where she studied art at Orange Coast College. She moved to Santa Fe in the early sixties. Susan put her art career on hold and opened a boutique, "The Sign of the Pampered Maiden", which sold the first mini dresses in Santa Fe. After 10 years in retail Susan started designing and remodeling homes which eventually led to a career in real estate. In 1992 Susan was finally able to return to her roots in the fine arts after relocating to Las Cruces with husband Pete. In Las Cruces she was able to resume her art career full time and with passion. Due to her devotion and true artistic ability, Susan had numerous solo and group shows and participated in many juried exhibitions, where she received numerous accolades for her impressionistic paintings. During this period Susan studied with her mentor, Earline Barnes, a renowned painter from El Paso. Susan's Paintings are in private and corporate collections in the United States, Mexico and Europe. "I paint because, for the life of me, I really cannot think of anything I would rather do. The wonderful and enticing thing about painting, like life, it is full of surprises and is a never ending journey. A painting becomes a new adventure. I am so gratified when it is successful. I approach the blank canvas with all that is behind me and look forward to what lies ahead." Susan Connelly. A Memorial Service for Susan will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, November 12, 2011, at Baca's Funeral Chapels, 300 E. Boutz Road, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88005.

WILDA INGRAM Was born June 23, 1932 to Roy B. and Myrtle Lilian Hunter Ingram in Clarendon, TX. On November 8th Wilda went to be with her Lord and Savior and the other saints, including her parents and her sister Phyllis Ingram McDaniel. Wilda liked to say that her mother had chosen her name from a novel she was reading during her pregnancy, and that she (Wilda) had often wished that Myrtle had read more exciting novels. Wilda was raised and educated in Clovis, NM, where her father, Roy, owned and operated the Piggly Wiggly grocery for 36 years. She graduated from Clovis High in 1950, as an honor student and the DAR Pilgrim. She was an active member, and a state officer, of the Rainbow Girls. She attended Eastern New Mexico University in Portales where she received a BS degree in Home Economics in 1954. She was the Homecoming Queen in 1952. Wilda met Kendall, her husband of 57 years, while they were students at Eastern. They were married in Clovis after Wilda graduated, and she was then given the privilege of teaching 5th grade at Emerson Elementary to put Kendall through the UNM Law School. Upon Kendall's graduation and admission to the New Mexico Bar in 1957, the family, which then included Julie, moved to Farmington. Cindy and Kenyon were both born in Farmington, where Wilda was chosen as Mrs. Farmington in 1960. The family moved to New York City in 1963-1964, where Kendall attended the NYU Law School where he received a graduate degree. They returned to Albuquerque in 1964. Wilda and Kendall's family consists of the following: daughter Julie and husband Bill Case, and children James Oliver, Timothy Patrick, Andrew Kenyon and Lilian Joy "Lily" Case; daughter Cindy and husband Patrick Davies, and sons Samuel Arthur, Kendall Reed and Philip Denny "Phil" Davies; son Kenyon and wife Zoe Schlenker, and children Christian David, Stephen Latimer, Luke Kendall and Helen Amelia Schlenker. The family is very close to Hope Christian School, where four grandchildren have graduated, five are in school, and Julie and Zoe are teachers. Some of Wilda's best years were while living in Placitas from 1977 to 2005, where both Wilda and Kendall were active in Las Placitas Presbyterian Church. Wilda was a Deacon and the Church Treasurer. In her later years Wilda was diagnosed as having "dementia, probably Alzheimers." She received wonderful care, first from Melvina McCabe, M.D. and UNM Health Services, and later from Suzanne Pinon, M.D., and Haven Care Aspen House. The family thanks them all, and also Carol Holmes who was Wilda's caregiver and friend, and Shauna, Susan and Bernice at Aspen House. A Memorial Service celebrating Wilda's life will be held Saturday, November 12, at 2:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 512 Locust NE, in Albuquerque, with Rev. Myron White and Rev. T.
