Upon graduation he proudly served with the US Army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged in 1955. After his discharge, he worked for the Marriott Corporation in the food industry. He also was the chief Engineer for numerous buildings in New York City including the Empire State Building. His love of cooking followed him through out his life. His pot roast and stuffed trout were the best! Upon moving to New Mexico, he worked for Gene Hinkle as a building Supervisor. He retired at age 62, but, his strong work ethics called him back after several years. He then worked at Manor Care and lastly at the Montebello, retiring again in 2006. His strong mechanical abilities were an asset to the Montebello plus the residents loved him. He always gave his best to all of them and had a special ear for listening to them when no one else would. For those who knew him best, we will miss his quick wit, humor, his charm, his caring ways and the twinkle in his eyes. Beyond his sometimes gruff exterior, was a generous person with a heart of gold. Many thanks to his case managers, Sheri and Dorothy; to Marla his home health aide. A special thanks to VERY special doctor-David Peters. Without his care and concern, the past few years would not have been possible. Dr. Peters was a special angel that was brought into our lives.

NIETO -- Natalia Nieto, 96, peacefully went to her just reward to be with our Lord on Wednesday, August 4, 2010, a beautiful morning. She joins her husband, Simon; her own mother, Maria Sandoval; son, Donald; and grandsons, Roberto Gonzales, Keith Poutney, and David Nieto. The mother of 14; grandmother of 38; great-grandmother of 45; and great-great-grandmother of 4, she was born in Alamogordo, New Mexico on April 10, 1914. She grew up in Denver, Colorado, where she met and married husband of over 60 years. Together, they served the United Methodist Church in the Rio Grande Conference, with pastorates in El Paso, San Antonio, Edinburg, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Texas, Emporia, Kansas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was a long-time minister, and she, a loyal, hard-working and faithful leader of the many women's organizations in all of the churches to which they were assigned. The Nieto's retired in Albuquerque in 1981. She was a wonderful mother, a magician at getting all her children ready for church every Sunday, and making sure we all did our chores around the house. She remains a shining example for all of us and her grandchildren of what a well-grounded, spiritual person can be. She was an unlicensed re-setter of broken bones, nurse during asthma attacks, seamstress for Easter outfits and annual new pajamas, and an effective disciplinarian from one end of the church pew to another with just one look. Wherever she made her home, there were always her healthy plants, which she tended lovingly and faithfully. After raising her children, her artistic talents emerged, and she took pictures wherever she felt inspired, and then produced a watercolor or acrylic impression. She was an excellent nurse at home and, for a brief period, a nurse's aide, a role into which she slid naturally. She could feed a crowd of kids and house guests from a pot of beans, and all of those who came in contact with her from one strong, giving heart. All the while her faith in the Lord was the shining light that kept her going. Survivors include her sister and brother-in-law, Esther and Joe Gutierrez, of Phoenix, Arizona; Of all her 14 children, the 13 who remain are Leo Nieto of Claremont, California, John Nieto and wife, Renay of Rockwell, Texas, Betty and George Poutney of Placentia, California, Shirley and husband, Tony Espinosa, Pauline and Jim Gonzales, Charlotte and David Maldonado, Jeanne Sundermann, Margaret and Ted Shogry, all of Albuquerque, Arthur Nieto of Denver, Colorado, Daniel Nieto, Gilbert Nieto and Luis Morales, James and wife, Araceli, and Sylvia and Dionisio Salazar all reside in Austin, Texas. Natalia's second oldest son, Donald, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away in 1999. We miss her terribly and will always have the many memories she left us. The family wishes to express our deepest gratitude to AmberCare Hospice Service and Footprints Homecare for their gentle, loving care during our mother's departure. Friends may visit French - University Chapel, Sunday, August 8, 2010 from 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. A celebration of Natalia's life will be held on Monday, August 9, 2010, 10:00 a.m., at El Buen Samaritano United Methodist Church, 700 Granite Ave NW, with Reverend Jesse Bermudez officiating.
