A Grandmother to 24 grandchildren and great-grandmother to 23 great-grandchildren, Louise was very busy loving and caring for each one in her own way. They all had a special place in her heart and would be treated to homemade tortillas and cinnamon rolls when they came to visit.
Louise was a devout Catholic who spent her free time serving the Catholic Church in many roles. She loved singing in the choir, volunteering for the fiestas, leading catechism classes and making meaningful and lasting impacts on the lives of every student she had in her classes throughout the years.
Louise will be dearly missed. She will be remembered by all who knew her. She loved her Raton community and is leaving behind friends and family who cared and loved her deeply.
