It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lupe Tanner, 87, from Silver City, New Mexico.
Lupe passed quietly on March 14, 2022 while surrounded by her loving family when she met our Lord.
Lupe was born and grew up in Silver City with her mother, father and five brothers. She graduated from Silver High School and received her bachelors from New Mexico State Teachers College (now Western Mexico University).
Lupe worked for almost 40 years at Gila Regional Medical Center (formerly Hillcrest General Hospital) retiring as Controller in 1998. She was also faithful member of St. Francis Newman Center Catholic Parish where she served in several Ministries.
Lupe was known for her kindness, smile, and laugh that brightened the spirit of all those around her. She never wavered in her faith of God’s will. She was considered the rock of her family. Her dedication to her family was boundless and this shows in the three wonderful children that she raised. Her greatest joys in life were also her three grandsons and two great grandsons. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and her cat Zoey. She loved the Silver City area and all her dear friends.
Lupe was preceded in death by her husband Dent Tanner Jr., her daughter Ana Cornali, her parents Ignacio and Mariana Monge, and her brothers Jesus, Joe, Louie, Al, and Ignacio Jr.
She is survived by her son Steve Tanner (wife Lulu), daughter Tessie Tanner, and son-in-law Dr. George Cornali. Additional surviving family members are three grandsons; Cameron (wife Lacey), Robert, and Brandon (wife Ana) and two great grandsons Graham Taylor and Rowan Thomas Cornali and close friend of the family Cathy Morales.
