BACA, PATRICK JOSEPH Seventh son of Refugio and Filomena Baca, Pat Baca died peacefully at home, amidst his loving family, on November 25, 2014. Born in 1927 in the Five Points neighborhood in the South Valley of Albuquerque, he and his three sisters and nine brothers were children of the Great Depression. Pat entered the U.S. Army days after graduating from Saint Mary's High School and served after World War II in Italy. Upon his discharge, he used the G.I.

TIEDE, LEONA MEDINA Age 73, a resident of Chimayo, passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 29, 2014 surrounded by her loving family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank Medina & Julia Roybal Medina; in-laws, Lawrence Tiede and Virginia Stobing Tiede; three brothers, Emilio, Michael, and Leonard Medina; her brother-in-law, David Dominguez; and niece, Carol Trujillo Gomez. Leona was born in Jerome, Arizona, a copper-mining town, and grew up in Chimayo next to El Santuario de Chimayo. As the eldest of eleven children she spent her youth helping her mother raise her siblings. In her spare time she spent many days with Fr. Charles Lobato at the Santuario working in the gift shop, playing the organ, or assisting in Mass as appropriate. After graduating from Santa Cruz High School, Leona entered the Carmelite Nuns of San Diego, CA. Later, with all intentions of returning, she left the order after six months due to an illness. She always said "I was called, but not chosen." Upon returning home, a twist of fate determined the next chapter of her life, to become an airline stewardess. This profession allowed her to travel the world for many years, some of those experiences were helping to evacuate refugees from Cuba, and transporting troops to and from Vietnam. While in Vietnam, she also visited many of the wounded troops in the hospital. Then, in the summer of 1966, on one of her many travels to Hawaii, she met the love of her life, Dennis at a bus stop in Honolulu. They married in 1967 at Holy Family Church, had three children, living in Sonoma, California, Santa Fe, and finally residing in Chimayo. There she became an entrepreneur and opened Leona's Restaurant and later a Tortilleria. Finally, returning back to live and work near El Santuario de Chimayo where she ran her little restaurant/gift shop for the past 26 years. Her passion was to serve the church and her community. She achieved that by providing meals for the priests, assisting with numerous activities including Posadas, and serving as a Eucharistic Minister, and Lector. She also made herself available to the many pilgrims of the church, by listening to their testimonials satisfying their hunger for food and their spiritual well-being. Mrs. Tiede is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Dennis H. Tiede; the joys of her life, her children, Theresa Lovato and husband Anthony, Paul Tiede and wife Denise, Michelle Koller and husband Steve.
