MONTOYA, ANDREA CARRILLO Andrea Carrillo Montoya passed away peacefully with grace in Albuquerque early Friday morning, February 13th surrounded by loved ones. A long journey back to her beginning. Born in 1923 the 7th of 9 surviving children in Agua Fria, NM to Filberto and Maria Carrillo, the essential tasks of survival were to raise children, care for animals, tend crops and provide spiritual guidance. Going to school was regarded as a treasured opportunity, not an obligation. It is these circumstances and values that would shape her and those she touched. By the time she graduated from Santa Fe High school in 1941, she had been offered a 4 year 4H scholarship to New Mexico State University. Her Dad forbade her to accept , as college was no place for a woman. Instead, she found employment as an office assistant in the Department of Agriculture. She then met a military man and future husband, Ralph Tomas Montoya. Several years later she was a wife and mother of two sons. Determined to provide the best possible future for her family, she found a way to navigate and adapt to new conveniences, technologies and social diversity, while maintaining the beliefs and values handed down from her parents. Over decades, accommodations were made, bending never breaking to stresses and opportunities of a modern life. Compromise was rarely part of her solution, raising two more children. Gaining confidence and a new realization of choices as an independent woman, she was a entrepreneur, rancher and realtor. She spent several decades compiling her geneology dating back to the 1500's, yet her most peaceful times were spent on her ranch, tending to the cattle, fixing the houses, mending fences, and talking about making improvements until her death at the age of 92. She was a Founding Member of the Associates of the Blessed Sacrament, a member of the Catholic Daughters of America, New Mexico Geneology Society and a long-time active member of Queen of Heaven and St. Charles Borromeo Parish. Regardless of her environment, she was the happiest when she was connected to the earth, her family, and her Creator. Her grandchildren gave her tremendous joy and treasured memories. She will be deeply missed by those she touched and mentored. Her charm, wit, independence, drive, graciousness and loving nature became a moniker of her elderly years which will leave a legacy through family, friends and caregivers. She is survived by her children, Ralph Gilbert Montoya, Michael Anthony Montoya and spouse, Chris Montoya, Joseph Ronald Montoya, Maria Dolores Preciado and spouse, Lupe Preciado; grandchildren Rudolfo Montoya and spouse Charity Montoya, Glynis Montoya, Gabriella Preciado, Joaquin Preciado; sister, Anita Salazar; and many, many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by Marcia Byers, Romalda Neeb, Amelia Carrillo, Rudy Carrillo, Manuel Carrillo, Antonia Lerma, Filiberto Carrillo, and Lucinda Garcia. Visitation will be Wednesday, February 18, 2015 beginning at 5:00 PM with the Rosary following at 6:00 PM. at Strong-Thorne Mortuary, 1100 Coal Avenue SE. Mass will be celebrated at St. Charles Borromeo, 1818 Coal Avenue SE at 10:00 AM on Thursday, February 19, 2015 with the burial following at Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

ROSENBERG, MARSHALL B. DR. Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg, age 80, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family, at his home in Albuquerque on February 7th, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Canton, Ohio on October 6th, 1934, Marshall was raised in Detroit and completed his undergraduate education at the University of Michigan. He received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Wisconsin in 1961, where he met his friend and mentor, psychologist Carl Rogers. He was awarded Diplomate status from the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology in 1966. Marshall launched his professional career in St. Louis where he established a successful clinical practice. Marshall's desire to put people over profits, as well as his curiosity and desire to learn more about the causes of violence that had defined his early experiences living in inner city Detroit, soon inspired him to leave private practice. He took a job as a cab driver and used this time to explore new and meaningful ways he might apply his professional training to reduce various forms of violence and disseminate peacemaking skills. Marshall's exploration quickly evolved into Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a process that facilitates stronger interpersonal communication and cultivates mutual recognition of deeper emotional needs, resulting in greater compassion and peaceful resolution between conflicted parties. Marshall worked closely with civil rights activists in the 1960's, mediating between rioting students and college administrators and working to peacefully desegregate public schools in long-segregated regions. Marshall's work in this capacity motivated him to found of the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) for which he served as the Director of Educational Services. A dedicated teacher, peace-maker and visionary leader, Marshall led NVC workshops and international intensive trainings for thousands of people in over 60 countries across the world. Marshall was passionate about his work and traveled to war-torn areas and economically disadvantaged countries, offering NVC training to promote reconciliation and peaceful resolution of differences. He worked tirelessly with such groups as educators, managers, mental health and health care providers, lawyers, military officers, prisoners, police and prison officials, clergy, government officials, and individual families. Marshall authored several books and received numerous awards throughout his career. Marshall is survived by his beloved wife, Valentina Rosenberg, (a.k.a Kidini); children Rick Rosenberg, Dr. Marla Nosan; Dr. Brett Rosenberg, step-daughter Naila de Cruz-Dixon, granddaughter, Chloe Nosan; daughters-in-law, Olivia Ramos and Sonia Rosenberg; son-in-law, David Nosan MD; brother and sister-in-law, Calvin and Elma Rosenberg; colleagues and students from around the world; and his sweet four-legged companion Tiger-Lilly (named, by Marshall, in honor of the Detroit Tigers). We would like to extend our gratitude to his longtime friend and Primary Care physician Dr. Patrick Rivera; his Presbyterian Hospice physician, Dr. Karen Adams; his Presbyterian Hospice Nurse, Collette Mahea Dodd; and his dedicated caregivers, Fawziya, Alma and Desmine. In our great mourning, and with deep reverence and soaring gratitude for the spirit he released in us, we hope to carry our beloved Marshall's light forward. We find comfort in his profound sense of humor and grace, which continues to soothe our hearts with much laughter and love. We will miss you Dear One! In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Presbyterian Hospice Homecare (8300 Constitution Ave NW, Albuquerque, NM 87110) or a charity of one's choice. An announcement regarding a memorial service to celebrate Marshall's life will follow. "Only from the Heart can you touch the Sky" -Rumi
