Jeanne was born on September 8th, 1923 in South Bend, Indiana. While she was young, the family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri, so that her father could accept an accountant's position with the Wabash Railroad. After graduating from Webster Groves High School, Jeanne pursued a bachelor's degree in Home Equipment in the School of Home Economics at Iowa State College (now University) in Ames. Completing her degree, she returned to St. Louis where she was employed by the Union Electric Company for several years as a home economist. Desiring to further her education, Jeanne returned to Iowa State for graduate school. While there, at a dance where the band played "Some Enchanted Evening", she met a physics graduate student, John Banister. They courted and subsequently married, with Jeanne completing her master's degree. As her new husband completed his doctorate, she worked as a teaching assistant. Upon John's graduation, they moved to Albuquerque in April of 1953, so that he could become a physicist with Sandia Corporation. Children soon began to follow, first John and Stephen, then Gayle. A devoted mother, Jeanne enjoyed entertaining her young children with novelty songs, "Da Twee, Widdle Fishies" being a favorite. Her church was important to Jeanne and she was for several decades, a member of Central United Methodist. She was active in the United Methodist Women's group (UMW), serving as an officer including terms as Albuquerque Regional Treasurer and President. She also served on the UMW Foundation Board and the Board of Global Ministries. A passion that Jeanne and her husband John shared was travel. They journeyed to Europe, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, with Norway being a special place for them. Jeanne was an avid reader of mystery novels having read all of the Agatha Christe and Tony Hillerman books. Her family wishes to thank the healthcare staff at the Montebello and those of Presbyterian Hospice for their care and kindness to Jeanne at a difficult time in her life.

No one can top our amazing acrobatic pool routines for Tom to video!! We miss your Let-Lou's at family dinners!! You were an amazing big sister, Lila. Through the years we have shared so many belly laughs, tears of joy, and unfortunately, prayers through our grief. You always guided our path. We miss you and are thankful for the times we were blessed to share with you. They still brighten our days and bring smiles to our hearts. We love you! Char, Carol and Nonnie

DURRETT, LEONORA 75, died May 29th, 2013 from symptoms associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Ms. Durrett became a professional printmaker after raising five children and working 20 years as a middle school art teacher in the public schools. Leonora was an active member of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation throughout her teaching career, wrote the state's first middle school charter at Taylor Middle School, and was the recipient of a yearlong fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities to study the connections between indigenous philosophy and recent advances in quantum physics and chaos theory. The daughter of James M. Durrett and Dorothy Rainwater Durrett, she was born July 25, 1937 in Tucumcari, New Mexico in the same house as her mother. She lived almost her entire life in the state, most of her adult life in her beloved North Valley. She earned her bachelor's in fine art from the University of New Mexico and then returned for a master's degree in education and her state teaching credential. An innovative art teacher throughout her career, Leonora created a fully functioning television news and animation studio at Truman Middle School when it opened in the 1970's. She felt that art classes were invaluable because they fostered a space where challenging students who might not succeed academically could work hard, cultivate their creativity, and even heal through art. She was especially proud of the "tough kids" who flourished in her classes. She always judged the success of a school's art program by the quality of its neighborhood graffiti. Leonora had little patience for inaction and often stood on principles of right and wrong. She had a deep sense of fairness and justice that she expressed throughout her life. Believing strongly in racial equality, she adopted two mixed-ethnicity children at a time when racial matching was the adoption norm. As a union member and neighborhood leader at the Cimino Compound where she lived, she fought hard in what she believed in, particularly democratic process. She worked especially hard to save the community garden at Cimino Compound where she lived. Leonora loved and supported fiercely her five children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, always encouraging them to pursue their passions and giving advice and suggestions along the way. One grandson wrote to her, "You've always pushed me to be creative and to advocate and be proud of my identity. Your free attitude is something that I will always carry with me and I'm so lucky to have someone who instilled the ability to think creatively in me." After she retired from 20 years as an Albuquerque Public Schools art teacher, Leonora returned to creating art almost full-time. She was an early member of the New Grounds Print Workshop where she created large monotype landscapes. About her work, Leonora wrote, "I explore the interwoven rhythms and infinite solitude of a landscape. Rather than depicting a specific location, I search for those fragile moments when abstract patterns of earth and sky reflect the spiritual immediacy of a place." "The importance of time," she wrote, "is reflected in my work as I build an image with as many as thirty layers over a period of days. I work with relationships of color, texture, light, and shapes to form images that are as rich and layered as the landscape that inspired them." Leonora's works have been shown in India, Toronto, Tokyo, France, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and England. She was represented by New Grounds Gallery in Albuquerque and Occasions Gallery in Scottsdale. Some of her work can be viewed at newgroundsprintshop.com. She was a lifelong athlete, playing defense on a six-woman basketball squad at Highland High School in the 1950's and then learning to shoot as a member of a successful Senior Olympics basketball team beginning when she was 68. Also in her late 60's, she rode her bicycle from Utah's Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park. She loved and trained dogs and was a volunteer with her children's 4-H club and YMCA swim team. Leonora is survived by son Jay Bobroff and his wife Louise Martinez, daughter Dana Bobroff and her husband Michael Mirimanian, son Kip Bobroff and his wife Michele Pfeiffer, son Michael Bobroff, and daughter Kara Bobroff and her husband Paul Campbell; grandchildren Jason Bobroff Clay, Desiree Martinez, Matthew Martinez, Jackie Bobroff, and Reed Bobroff; great-grandchildren Naomi, Nikki, and Josiah Martinez, Xander Parra, and Azzlyn Martinez; and Ona Bellino, her closest and oldest friend. She was cared for lovingly during her illness by dear friends Grace Collins, Karin Retskin, and Marie Mound and by Adriana Garcia, Guillemina Valverde de Torres, and Peter Reed. Leonora will be remembered through her art. As she said, "I want my images to convey a sense of peace, but, at the same time, I allow them to offer the promise of change and transformation. The passage of time is as important in the development of my images as my choices of ink and paper." The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Native American Community Academy, 1100 Cardenas Avenue S.E., Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108 or on-line at www.nacaschool.org/support-naca/make-a-donation/ or to the "Friends of the Leaf" Community Garden at Cimino Compound, 3939 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Unit 77, Albuquerque, NM 87107. A celebration of her life will be held July 21. Please contact kipbobroff(at)gmail.com for more information.

SCHMIDT, DON Born in West Virginia on April 29, 1935. After his High School graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He worked predominantly as a Nuclear weapons maintenance officer and held appropriate Top Secret Clearances. Due to his professionalism, flawless judgment, superior instructional abilities and competence, and high personal standards, he ended his 20 year military career as a Chief Warrant Officer IV in the Inspections Directorate, Field Command, Defense Nuclear Agency. While in service to his country, he was awarded 1st Oak Leaf Cluster to the Joint Services Commendation Medal and 1st Oak Leaf Cluster to the Army Commendation Medal.

He was a Member of Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Also, during this time, he fulfilled his dream and earned his BBA magna cum laude. After disability retirement from Siemens, Don did volunteer work with the Lovelace Auxiliary for 15 years. Don touched many lives with his knowledge, humor, and caring. He appeared to be all business on the outside, but to those who knew him he was a charismatic, humorous, and compassionate man. While stationed in Fort Bliss, TX in 1956, he met a nursing student named Armida Vargas and married her 28 days later. Together they raised two daughters, Jeri and Teresa, and later welcomed Jeri's husband Anthony as a son. Don continued to be a great source of wisdom, humor, and love to his children and grandchildren Samantha, Alexis, Angela, and Amanda. After a long illness, with the comfort and compassion of Heartland Hospice, Don died peacefully at home on June 1, 2013 in the loving arms of his wife of 57 years Armida and his youngest daughter Teresa.
