LOPEZ, ANGIE SAAVEDRA a longtime Santa Fe resident, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on Sunday, September 28 at Christus St. Vincent Hospital. Angie was the driving force of her family, a rock-solid matriarch exuding strength, compassion and an incredible zest for life. She was an unbelievable mother and best friend to her four children, developing different but equally meaningful bonds with each of them. Blessed with a wealth of generosity, empathy and sense of humor, Angie touched everyone in her life. She was an exemplary wife, sister, aunt, mother-in-law, friend and an especially doting grandmother. She was the shining star who brightened everything and everyone in her path. Angie was born in Albuquerque and raised in the New Mexico communities of Tokay, San Pedro and Socorro. A devout Roman Catholic, she was active with the church and in the community, and made her family especially proud in the mid-1960s when she was honored as the top fund-raiser for the March of Dimes.

MAUPIN, BETTY CAPPS 1929-2014 Betty Capps Maupin, age 84, a resident of Belen, passed away on Saturday, September 27. She was one of two children born on December 19, 1929 to J. Logan and Effie Capps in Littlefield, Texas. Betty's twin, Billy, died only ten months later. Her first years were spent on a farm, but the depression and dust storms forced the family to look for better conditions and they moved to Belen, New Mexico, in 1937, where the irrigated fields looked pretty good to a poor farmer from the dust bowl. The family remained in Belen only a year before being lured to California by stories of jobs and prosperity. The family returned to Belen in 1943 after giving up on the false promises of fortune, a drastic change for 13-year-old Betty. She graduated from Belen High School in 1948, married Leslie Maupin in 1949, and went to work at the First National Bank of Belen where she worked off and on until 1985, taking time off to be with her daughters when they were young. She enjoyed ceramics, china painting, knitting, and crocheting. She was a member of the Belen Pilot Club. She was preceded in death by her parents, J. L. Capps and Effie Capps; brothers, Sherman Capps, J.L. Capps Jr., and Billy Gene Capps; and her sister, Edith Mae Capps.
