Agnes Ross Perea went to the loving arms of our Lord on Saturday, June 16, 2001. A lifelong resident of Albuquerque, she was employed as a"Harvey Girl" for 20 years at the original Alvarado Hotel, and continued her career as a waitress at the Albuquerque Hilton Hotel until she retired. She was welcomed into heaven by her husband, Lorenzo who has been patiently waiting for almost 40 years. Daughter, Irene Lermusiaux of Las Vegas, NV; grandson, Thaddeus Perea and great-granddaughter, Stephanie Lynne Sanchez-Chavez also preceded her. Survivors are daughter, Florence Grace Johnson who unselfishly nurtured and cared for her these past 12 years, son, Mel"Archie" Perea and wife, Roseline, adopted son, Barry David Perea and wife, Sharon of Las Vegas, NV; brother, Joseph L. Ross and sister, Helen Ross both of Albuquerque, sister, Louise Blea of Hawthorne, CA; 16 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren who fondly referred to her as"Nana" and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Her love of music, dancing and nights under the stars at Jemez Springs were shared with her husband "Lori" who was a musician. Her love of books and reading were reflected by her knowledge and wisdom. She was a lifelong member of Sacred Heart Church and last few years attended Mass at Ascension Parish. She was a member of the Order of St. Francis. We were fortunate to have her here for 95 years and know she is resting in peace.
