HOLMES, MARJORIE (nee Marjorie Violet Stone) died unexpectedly but peacefully on January 26th. She was born in Duluth, Minnesota to Marjorie Claire (Wade) and Clarence Verne Stone on November 29, 1921 and grew up in Eureka, Colorado (now a ghost town) and Denver. Marjorie enjoyed a life filled with activity. While raising children, she was a recreation director in Great Falls, Montana and later Albuquerque. Later, she worked at Lytle Corp and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Unable to attend college in her younger days, she did so later and earned a degree in accounting from UNM at age 54; then worked until her retirement as an auditor for the USDA. After retirement, she became very active in Senior Olympics, and earned large numbers of ribbons, medals, and trophies, especially in race-walking, javelin, and shotput. She won the gold medal in two race-walking events in the national Senior Olympics in Baton Rouge. She was also active in officiating at many Albuquerque-area track and field events, and was just re-certified to do more. Marjorie was a music lover, and a very loyal audience member in local chamber music concerts, especially Sunday Chatter (formerly Church of Beethoven) which she attended almost every Sunday. Other regular activities included a walking group, a philosophy discussion group, airport shuttle driving, ham radio (KA5TAQ), working at the elections center, courses at UNM, and many other things. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Wade and William Stone; her husbands Clarence Lenth and Robert Holmes; her daughter Marilyn Goodrich; and grandson John Wills.

HUNTER, ROY W. On Sunday, January 27, 2013, Roy passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Mount Enterprise, Texas on March 18, 1932, Roy moved to Santa Fe in 1944 and graduated from Santa Fe High School five years later. He could often be found exploring and enjoying the vast countryside around Bishop's Lodge, thus beginning a love of the great outdoors which he embraced the rest of his life. Roy not only took pleasure in hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, camping, pinon hunting, fishing, and playing tennis, but was actively involved with numerous environmental organizations. He often used his poignant creative writing skills to pen letters to Congress encouraging them to protect the fragile environment. Roy was clever, and his wit and use of puns were present to the end. His inventive ingenuity is well-remembered by many and still evident in numerous solutions. Roy was well-known for his crowded truck bed beneath the camper shell, but a closer look would reveal tarps, jackets, tools, water, stuffed animals, umbrellas - a hodgepodge of just-in-case items for assisting someone in need. Ever a philanthropist, Roy will be fondly remembered by many community volunteers for his generosity toward them and their diligent work to a worthy cause. Roy was an accountant with Sandia Labs for twenty-five years, after which he enjoyed traveling. Later, he devoted his time tending to his aging mother. He is survived by "the love of his life", Rose Brigham and her caring daughter Susan; devoted daughters Jeanette Hunter and Cindy Hunter-Crofton; son-in-law Chuck Oliver; and grandchildren David, Travis, Tiffany, Doug, Cheryl, Jake, Katie, Dillon, and Cheyenne. He will be forever in our hearts and prayers. Services will be held Sunday, Feb. 3rd at 10:00am at the Piru Activity Center near the corner of Central and Juan Tabo; 12300 Piru Blvd. SE. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Alaska Wilderness League or a local community charity.
