Obituary for ATENCIO


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Thursday July 06, 2006

Dolly Atencio joined our Lord on the evening of July 3, 2006. She enjoyed the comfort of her loving family while a gentle rain cleared a path for her passage. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Eugene. Dolly is survived by her children, Eugene Atencio, Joyce Atencio-Valentine, Harold Atencio, Carla Atencio, and Judy Montoya. Also surviving Grandma Dolly are Nichole and Gabriel Atencio, Dominic and Gerrid Montoya, Megan, Erin, Rachel, Alison, and Aeden Atencio. She was loved by all and will be remembered as a spiritual, gentle, intelligent, strong willed and energetic woman. She led by example and always set a clear moral path to follow. She was loving, compassionate, supportive, and an inspiration to her family and friends' lives in ways that helped guide and nurture us in living life faithfully. She will be missed more than words can describe, but wonderful memories will remain in our minds and hearts forever. Services will be held at the historic San Felipe de Neri Catholic Church in Old Town. A Rosary will be recited on Thursday July 6, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday July 7, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Santa Fe National Cemetery.
