Louise Catherine Pound (nee Kelly), August 24, 2009, in Albuquerque, peacefully, surrounded by her loving family. Beloved wife of the late Bill Pound, much loved mother of John, Teresa, and Daniel; sadly missed by her daughter-in-law Mary Ann Pound, son-in-law Steve Zook, and Toby Jerome; grandchildren Meghan Pound-Allen and her husband, Michael, Emily Zook, Matt Pound and wife, Leanne, Kelly Pound and Ryan Espinoza, great grandchildren Adrian Trujillo-Pound and Cyrena Allen, sister, Evelyn Head, and brother, Hank Kelly. Requiem Mass will be celebrated at Cristo Rey Church in Santa Fe at 9:30a.m. this Thursday, August 27, 2009, with burial to follow at the Santa Fe National Cemetery. Donations, if desired, to Catholic Charities. Our mother was a very special woman. When her beloved husband died at the age of 49, she accepted God's will and devoted herself to her family and community, serving as a teacher aide in the Santa Fe school system for many years. At the age of 88, her biggest thrill, besides welcoming two great-grandchildren, was to see Barack Obama in person and to witness his election. Most important, she instilled the gift of faith in her children and grandchildren, a deep and unshakeable faith that is being passed on to her great-grandchildren. As the end approached, she said "death is a part of life" and reminded us that our separation will be temporary. Our wish is that everyone would have a mother such as ours. buiochas le Dia The Rivera Family of Santa Fe Funeral Options 417 East Rodeo Road Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505 (505) 989-7032 Santafefuneraloption.com
