Pablita & Trish, Indian Market 2016
I first met Pablita when we both staffed the US House Committee that Mo Udall chaired at that time, 1989. After moving to Santa Fe in 2002, my wife and I always sought out Pablita's booth at Indian Market. We have a treasured Corn Maiden of hers which will always remind of this beautiful soul we all lost way too soon. Vaya con Díos, Pablita. You will live in our hearts forever.

I only knew her through Shaun and never got to meet her. Knew she must have been very special as is lifelong family friend, Shaun. He is still making an impact on people as a true friend. It sounds like she is still living through her art and people who she touched. Many Blessings,
