ROMERO, SANTOS TEOFILO Age 91, was called home by The Father on Monday, November 11, 2013. Santos was born in Roy, NM on February 17, 1922. He was the third of eleven children to Teofilo and Filomena Romero of Roy. Santos grew up in Roy and graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School. He grew up Catholic and served as an altar boy at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Roy. As a youngster, he was very active in sports and excelled as a runner. Coach Bealla worked out Santos and younger brother Tomas every morning and evening. The public school in Roy recruited Santos to represent them in area track meets. Santos learned the value of hard work and dedication at an early age. As a member of "the greatest generation", Santos followed his older brother Eduardo and enlisted in the US Army at the age of 19. He served as an Army medic from 1941-1944. He was in combat in the Philippines and New Guinea during WWII. Letters home were rare and short because his unit was constantly on the move. He left his Earthly life to join God in Heaven on Veteran's Day. Upon returning from WWII, he married Fedelina (Faye) Esquibel and became an instant father to three young children (Mary Louise, Floyd and John Aguilar) that he readily accepted and raised as his own. Patrick, Robert, Georgia, Filomena (Rose) and Carlos Romero followed. Through the years, Santos and Fay created a family that loved and respected their parents and others, taught the value of hard work, loyalty and above all - help those in need. Those that knew Santos well considered him "an old fashioned gentlemen". He was a devoted family man that loved his wife and children dearly and was always there to lend support. Although he did not have a formal education beyond eighth grade, there was nothing he could not do. He was known as a "jack of all trades". He was smart, a tireless worker, a great communicator, an outstanding athlete, musician, carpenter, mechanic, cowboy and an avid hunter and fisherman. He was also the humblest of men and expected no less from his children. Most importantly, he was a great husband and a great father to eight children. Santos was well respected by his peers and communities as he worked highway construction throughout New Mexico, City Marshal in Roy and Police Chief in Springer. Following his retirement from the Springer Police Department, he and Faye became caretakers of the Bell Ranch Mansion. Grandsons Robert (BJ) and Roman Romero were fortunate to spend their formative summers with Santos and Faye at the Bell Ranch. As they will attest, "it doesn't get any better than that"! Upon returning to Springer, Santos devoured every Louis L'Amour novel he could get his hands on and cherished supporting the sports teams at Springer and Roy. He very much looked forward to visits from all his grandchildren. Santos was preceded in death by his beloved Faye; daughter Mary Louise Maestas, son Carlos Romero; mother and father Filomena and Teofilo Romero; sister Veneranda Narvaez; brothers Tomas (Beede) and Joseph Romero. Left behind to cherish his memories are sons Floyd Aguilar of Springer, John Aguilar of Roy, Patrick (Linda) Romero of Corpus Christi, TX, and Robert Santos Romero of Springer; daughters Georgia (Henry) Arellano of Bernalillo and Filomena "Rose" (Michael) Ramirez of Springer; sisters Jeanne LeDoux of California, Dorothy (Pedro A.) Gonzales of Mills, Santa Ana Cecilia Hardesty of Roy and Della (Al) Sharief of California; brothers John Edward Romero of Rio Rancho and Lawrence Romero of Albuquerque. Grandchildren include: Patricia Guenther, Shuree Sandlin, Floyd Aguilar Jr., Michael Aguilar, Roberta Aguilar, Robert (BJ) Romero, Roman S. Romero, Patrick Jr. and Adam Santos Romero, Paula Fernandez and Alejandro (Jano) Arellano, and Charlie Mirabal. Great- grandchildren include: Jordan Guenther, Estevan Espinoza, Santana Faye Romero, Estevan Castro, Enrique Castro, Elijah Castro, Alejandro Arellano Jr., Carlos Fernandez, Estrella Fernandez, Araceli Mirabal, Addison Arellano, Ashlynn Arellano, Amelia Arellano, Evan Romero, Emily Romero and Triniti Ann Romero.

Romero family offers their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Misbah Zmily & staff at La Familia Primary Care in Raton, Dr. Sally Fabec and staff at the Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic in Raton, Dr. Vidal, oncologist and staff at Albuquerque Veterans Administration in Albuquerque and the staff at Miner's Colfax Medical Center in Raton for their kindness & caring of Santos.

PACHECO, MARY ELIZABETH LOPEZ born on March 6, 1923 in Maxwell, NM, daughter of Ignacio and Margarita Lopez, passed on April 1, 2014 at the age of 91. Elizabeth, a resident of Santa Fe, NM, and former resident of Maxwell, Springer, and Raton, NM, was married to Manuel Jose Pacheco on July 8, 1940 until his death in July 1999-nearly 60 years. They lived most of their lives on a farm in Maxwell, and raised 12 children. All children eventually married and blessed Elizabeth and Manuel with 41 grandchildren and numerous great- and great-great-grandchildren. Children include Dr. Manuel Trinidad Pacheco (Karen) of Phoenix, AZ; Margaret Safallo (Al) of Prescott, AZ; Dr. John Maurice Pacheco (Bea) of Santa Fe, NM; Ignacio Robert Pacheco (Carol) of Denver, Colorado; Julia Rosita Chavez (Randy) of Albuquerque, NM; Olivia Elizabeth Ann Huggins (Ronnie) of Lawrenceville, GA; Theresa Marie Wittig (Evan) of San Antonio, TX; Bernadette Agnes Trujillo (John) of Baltimore, MD; Anna Marie Robinson (Richard) of Las Cruces, NM; Dr. Mario Francis James Pacheco (Diana) of Santa Fe, NM; Dr. Rita Magdalene Pacheco-Gonzales (Esteban) of Las Cruces, NM; and Christopher Mark Pacheco (Judy) of Elizabeth, CO. Elizabeth was preceded in death by sister, Julia Lopez, and brothers Louis Ignacio Lopez and Pablo Antonio Lopez. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews and one sister-in-law. In her early married years Elizabeth first accompanied Manuel as a migrant farmworker in Colorado and before long settled in Maxwell, NM as their primary residence, eventually purchasing a farm and tractor. Elizabeth helped Manuel run a dairy farm by milking every morning at pre-dawn among other things, while Manuel tended cattle, and pursued various other small animal ventures, aside from his regular job at the NM State Highway Department in Springer, NM. Elizabeth and Manuel raised 12 children on the farm in Maxwell, NM. In addition, Elizabeth played the organ for mass at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Maxwell and St. Joseph Catholic Church in Springer, over the majority of her lifetime, a service she began at St. Patrick's Academy in Raton, NM since the age of 12. She also taught religious education classes at St. Vincent De Paul Church in Maxwell. She served for over 25 years as Secretary for the Maxwell School Board, working diligently for decades to keep the school independent and successful, and also served as Secretary for the NM State Board of Education. After her youngest child was ready to leave for college, Elizabeth pursued a bachelors degree and graduated summa cum laude from Highlands University, and taught at the New Mexico Boys Correctional Facility in Springer, NM for almost 20 years. She was honored in 1983 as New Mexico's Mother of the Year. Fittingly, she continued her motherly role, guiding boys at the correctional facility, teaching them to read, write, and develop a sense of self-worth. These troubled young men invigorated a fresh sense of purpose after her children were grown and left home. Elizabeth enjoyed traveling to Europe, South America, Israel, Mexico, and other places. Her love of music, traveling, and reading enveloped every element of her life and transferred to her children & grandchildren. Visitation will begin at 6:00 PM Thursday, April 3, 2014 at Santa Maria De La Paz Catholic Church, where a Rosary will be recited at 7:00 PM Thursday evening. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 AM Friday, April 4, 2014 at Santa Maria De La Paz.

He lived independently and our Mother and he were very close-they took care of one another. She was basically responsible for getting his military disability. Everyone he met he befriended. He was especially close to Teddy, his dog. During the last three years he was cared for by Deanna Miller and Julia Serna, his Caregivers. He was the 4th eldest and is survived by his oldest brother, Luis "Louie" and significant other Virginia; brother, Thomas and wife Isabella; brother, John and wife Iris; brother, Ernesto "Ernie" and wife, Julia; his eldest sister, Roberta Tixier and his sister, Teresa Johnson and husband Steve; and an adopted niece, Rebecca "Becky" Ek and husband, Billy.
