Mable P. Storey, age 72, a resident of Casa Colorada, NM, passed away peacefully at home on July 5, 2006 surrounded by her family and friends. She fought a courageous battle against breast cancer since 1998. Mable loved her family very much and she worked with her husband, Eli running their cattle farm in Casa Colorada. She graduated from Belen High School in 1952 and married Eli in Nov. 1955. Mable was a proud woman and a devoted wife and mother. She went on FFA trips to chaperone students and enjoyed working the polls on Election Day. Mable was a great cook and always had our favorite foods on hand when we visited. Mable's accounting skills were her passion. She had to-do lists for everything and could tell you the time, day, month, and year anything happened with her family and business. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Mable was preceded in death by her eldest son, Roy Alan Storey; her brother, Dennis Perea; her parents, Maria and Manuel Perea; and her parents-in-law, Jesus and Toribia Storey. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 50 years, Eli R. Storey; her four sons, Ron and wife, Lisa, Woody and wife, Pam, John and wife, Sonya, and Dino and wife, Theresa, and Tina Storey, wife of Roy Alan; 14 grandchildren, Sean, Leanne, Nancy, Kyle, Jared, Brett, Matthew, Dana, Denille, Lenell, Samuel, Jacob, Luisa, and Patia Ann. She is also survived by her three sisters, Margaret Baca, Mary Carrejo and husband, Amby, and Rosalyn Gonzales; two brothers, Ernest Perea, and Manuel Perea and wife, Flora; and many nieces and nephews. "Grandma, you were always the one to organize Grandpa and to keep him going. We will make you proud and take care of him. We will miss you and your laugh. Vaya Con Dios."
