Dolores Montoya
March 27, 1931 - December 6, 2016
Our beloved mother, grandmother and friend, Dolores Montoya, made her transition to eternity peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, December 6th at the age of 85. Born in Jerez, Zacatecas Mexico in March of 1931, she was truly a trailblazer in her own right. She would often accomplish tasks no woman of her era did (such as seeking an education). Once she was swept off her feet by the love of her life, she turned her focus to raising her five children under austere conditions. She endured hard work, yet she always had a welcoming smile. As a homemaker and mother, she loved to garden, had a passion for all animals and loved to cook. Her kindness of spirit and compassion for all humans led her to find ways to donate necessary items to the less fortunate - even when she herself had very little to give. Once she gained her US citizenship, she shared her knowledge and experience to assist her compatriots in achieving the same goal. Dolores lived in Alamogordo NM, the family homestead in Cherry Creek Canyon, CO, Farmington NM, and Red Mesa CO before her residency at the Four Corners Rehabilitation Facility in Durango CO. She is survived by her children: Luis Javier, Elsa (Gary), Gloria (Michael), Francisco (Paula), and Elena (Robert); her step-daughters Marie and Sophie-Ann; as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.. She was preceded in death by her husband, Francisco Leopoldo, as well as numerous pets and friends. Her generous spirit and encouragement will be missed. Visitation will be Monday, December 12th from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Brewer, Lee and Larkin Funeral Home,, 103 East Ute St., in Farmington. May God's Love and Light surround us all as we celebrate her gallant life at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Red Mesa, Colorado on Tuesday, December 13th at 11:00am.with Bishop Merle Whittaker conducting. Interment will follow at Red Mesa Community Cemetery in Red Mesa, Color. Vaya con Dios, Dolores! , . .
Dolores' arrangements are under the direction of Brewer, Lee and Larkin Funeral Home, (505) 325-8688 Should friends desire to send condolences to the family they may do so at Serenity and Company - Phoenix AZ http://www.serenityandcompany.com/
