Jane Valdez was born in Clayton, New Mexico to Jose Felipe Ulibarri and Natividad “Delvalle” Ulibarri on March 12th, 1946. She was called to the vocation of marriage and received it with joy. Her marriage was a source of grace not just for herself but for her spouse. They were a union of blessed matrimony for her family to bear witness. She and Pete prayed the rosary nightly with the intentions of their family and friends. During her daily life she spent time with her family, gardening, and fishing any time she could. Her nurturing spirit glowed throughout the family, baking birthday cakes for everyone, and holiday meals that can never be duplicated. She was taken unexpectedly; her loss will be felt deeply by all who knew her.
