1962-2024

Delma Marie Baca, age 61, a resident of Los Chavez, passed away unexpectedly at UNM-H on Aug. 27, 2024 with her fiancé, Aaron Depuy, by her side.

She was a member of Our Lady of Belen Catholic Church. Delma loved fishing and spending time with her fiancé, Aaron Depuy. They loved each other unconditionally.

She loved country music and going out country dancing. She was always the life of the party in any room she walked into. She filled the room with so much joy and lots of laughter, as she’d say “ OWWW” haha.

Her eight grandkids were her pride and joy. She always showed up for all her grandkids. Any activity, any game or performance they had, she was there cheering them on. They always kept her going, she said they kept her young.
