Gena Holmes Contor passed as she lived, quietly, gracefully and with the love of her life by her side in the early morning of Thursday, July 23, 2020.
Gena was born on July 15, 1968 to Hoyt and Naomi Holmes. She grew up in Silver City and graduated from Silver High in 1986. In 1988, she married her husband, Nick Contor. Five years later in 1993, she gave birth to her son J. Wesley. In 1998, they welcomed their baby girl, Victoria. You would rarely, see Gena outside of work without Victoria, as they were the best of friends. Gena’s main priority in life was always her family, especially her children. She was a mom first, above everything. She was usually the quiet but joyful presence in the room. She enjoyed being with family and friends. She especially enjoyed Sunday family dinners at Julie and Harrisons, and time with her friends at Funko and Stampin’ Up gatherings. She handcrafted cards for every occasion for those she loved. Gena’s favorite job was at Agape Christian Academy, where she worked as the office manager for several years. She also enjoyed her more recent job working at Walmart, where she could visit daily with family and friends, new and old.
Gena is survived by a family that will truly miss her presence. Her husband, Nick Contor, son J Wesley Contor (Carol) and daughter Victoria Contor all of Bayard; her mother, Naomi Holmes; sisters, Norma Moore (Alan), Vickie Moore Alvarez (Peter) and Julie Contor Smith (Harrison); brothers, Hoyt Wesley Holmes (Jennifer), Scott Holmes (Kelly), Hoyt Wayne Holmes (Heidi), Wesley Holmes (Physllis) and William; nieces, Nena Benavidez (Gabe), Sarah Heredia (Josh) Tristan Oaxaca (Victor Jr.,) and Alyssa Holmes; nephews, Hayden and Daniel Smith; great nieces and nephews, Jacob, Jasmine, Emma, Jaidyn, Sebastian, Andre, Aztan, Avikx, Angel, and Aaliyah; mother in-law, Kathleen Herrera; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and extended family members.
