Tressa Jane Giffin, our precious mom, died Tuesday morning, October 9, 2007, in Albuquerque, NM. She was born June 4, 1912, in Oklahoma. She is survived by two daughters, Anita Gay Summerville of Belen, NM, and Patricia Black of Albuquerque; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren; one sister, Julia Greene of Albuquerque; and one brother, Robert Greene, of Sayre, OK. She lived in Belen, NM for over 60 years. She became one of Jehovah's Witnesses in about 1939. Tressa spent most of her life engaging in a volunteer ministry of sharing with the people of her community her hope of a paradise earth under the rulership of Jesus Christ. She was deeply concerned about the welfare of others, and she was self-sacrificing in her helping of them. Tressa practiced what she preached about right and wrong, much to the chagrin of her occasionally rebellious-feeling daughters. Tressa was stable as a rock, and that was very reassuring to her family. She will be sorely missed. Memorial Services will be held Friday, October 19, 2007, at the Belen Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1114 S. Main St, Belen, NM, at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, Tressa's family requests that memorial contributions be made to Heritage Hospice, Jehovah's Witnesses, or a charity of your choice. Arrangements and Services are entrusted to the care and direction of: Daniels Family Funeral Services 7601 Wyoming Blvd. NE Albuquerque, NM 87109 505-821-0010
