Anita Montoya

ANITA MONTOYA

Born September 1, 1930 in Santa Fe, New Mexico went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, July 15, 2020.  A force of nature that has been removed from our lives, Anita always cared for her family.  She personified strength through love.  She displayed her immense love through her cooking which was unsurpassed. 

Anita is survived by her cousin, Jeannie Quintana and her son Joey (Dawn) with children, Brittany, Emmaly and Aurora; her son Ron (Nadine), her nephew and godson, Randy Lacy, her niece, Kathy Cronin; her grand niece Melissa Johnson, her great nephew and godson, Brett Cronin, along with her loving and caring brother and sister-in-law Joe and Marcella Montoya, as well as loving niece Joanie Montoya; sisters-in-law Susie and Angie Montoya and many extended family members and friends.  She was preceded in death by her husband John Montoya, her two sons, John Jr and Larry; her sister Agnes Lacy and her mother and father Socorro and Jerry Romero. 

She is sorely missed and will forever be in our hearts.

A Rosary will be recited on Friday, August 14, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Anne's Catholic Parish followed by Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m.

Interment will follow at Rosario Cemetery.
