She has now rejoined her loving husband Luciano A. Yañez to continue their dance in heaven.
Maria lived in Deming, New Mexico where they raised a beautiful family that included two children, Luciano Yañez Jr. of Las Cruces, NM and Susy Perez and her husband Pedro Perez of Deming. She had numerous grandchildren and one great-grandchild, Mari Perez of Albuquerque, NM, Reyna Perez of Las Cruces, Anita Calvi, her husband Alex Calvi and their daughter Isabella Calvi of Great Falls, Montana, Maria Garcia (Nolan), along with her children Nikolas Garcia, Noelle Garcia, and Nolan Garcia of Las Cruces.
Maria was a loving wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother. Anyone who had the opportunity to meet Maria knew her for her green thumb and beautiful rose bushes that surrounded her home inside and out. The people of Deming knew her for attending all of her grandchildren's sporting events, cooking the best red chile, gorditas, and pumpkin empanadas. Maria would open her house for many to enjoy a meal, holiday, or to sit and enjoy Spanish soap operas in the afternoons with a cafecito.
She will live on in our hearts and with the many memories that she blessed us all with.
