Those who knew Vangie will remember her warmth, generosity and love of sharing a meal. Whether it was her homemade tamales, enchiladas, sopapillas, beans, sweet treats, like fresh fruit empanadas, perfectly crafted biscochitos or punch cake, she was always ready to feed those around her.

Vangie had a special love for children and worked as a teacher’s aide in the Los Lunas Schools. She also opened her home to care for children, running a day care, where she treated each child as her own. Vangie’s legacy of love, faith and care will live on in the hearts of her family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Pallbearers will be Jarrod and Justin Storey, Landon and Dalton Moya.
