Concepcion Torres
Age: 90
Concepcion (Chona) "Nana" B. Torres, 90, passed away peacefully at home Wednesday June 7, 2006 surrounded by family.
She was a lifelong resident of Tome, NM and member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Tome. Chona devoted her life as a servant to the Lord, and prayed daily for those she loved.
She was a member of the Alter Society and St. Vincent D'Paul Society. Chona owned and operated the local family grocery store Paul's Place in Tome, where she was always serving others.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Doroteo and Ramoncita Baca; her brothers Jose Maria (I.), Manuel, Louis, Juan, Antonio, Crestino, Jose Maria, Frank and Teito (Doroteo); her husband, Pablo Torres; her son, Eppy Torres and two grandchildren, Marcos and Alicia Sanchez. Chona is survived by her sister and faithful friend, Tillie Baca; brother, Odelio F. Baca, wife Emilia; her sisters-in-law, Rose Moya, and Elena Baca; her six children, Teresa Rojas, husband Vince; daughter-in-law, Isabel Torres; Johnny Torres, wife, Lenise; Ramon Torres, wife, Anna; Connie Padilla, husband, Henry; Cecilia Sanchez, husband, Leroy; Frances Sanchez, husband, Robert.
Nana is also survived by 21 grandchildren; Vicki, Stephen, Roberto, Rebecca, Paul, Jessica, Christopher, LeeAnna, Angelo, Maria Elena, Andrea, Jeremy, Joey, Jonathan, Janelle, James, Carlos, Felipe, Francisco, Ricardo and Monica and 11 great-grandchildren, Joshua, Zachary, Bethany, Benjamin, Erika, Kai, Kayla, Michael, Amiee, Jesse, Chase and "Baby Sanchez" on the way. Chona is also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews and Godchildren. The family would like to extend a special and sincere appreciation to Tillie Baca and Isabel & Rebecca Torres for all the help they so selflessly gave throughout the years, especially during her last months.
Also, thank you to Heritage Health Care and Hospice for their support. As Nana was greatly loved she will be greatly missed. All services will be held at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Tome. A final visitation will take place on Saturday, June 10 from 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. with a Funeral Mass to be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. Interment will be held at Tome Catholic Cemetery.
"Left with her hand, but right with her mind; quick with her wit, and heart always kind as our guardian angel she gave us hope. With her trusting love she helped us cope. Prayed for us in times of despair, and helped us smile knowing she was right there. Words can't express how we feel inside; how lucky we were to have our Nana close by."
