AURORA LUCIA ABEYTA MAY 30, 1925 - MAY 18, 2009 Aurora was born in Tucumcari, New Mexico. She worked for the State of New Mexico for almost 50 years...public service for which she received many awards. She was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society (Las Carmelitas). Although she was never married nor had children, she was a maternal spirit and treated us all as her kids. Rora loved to joke and tease. She was fond of the gastronomic arts and enjoyed the occasional glass of wine. She made great fudge and decent bourbon balls. "Rora introduced many of us to fine dining and fine snacking. She touched many people in her life and we are moved by her passing. Although she was confined to bed in her last years, she maintained her courage and her dignity. On behalf of Aurora we would like to thank the kind staff of Casa Real Care Center and the nice people from Odyssey Hospice. Aurora is survived by her sister, Anita Roche of Albuquerque; her brother, Louis of Tucumcari; her sister Lorinda Kemp of Albuquerque; her brother, J.A. "Red" of Carlsbad; her brother Norman R. of Tucumcari; her sister, Christine Turnbeaugh of Tucson; her brother, Steve F. of Tucson; and many nieces, nephews, family and friends, too numerous to mention.
