Sally Nix Obituary

Sally Nix

Our dearest angel Sally Nix (Princess Perea) spread her wings and took off on a journey to a far better place on November 4, 2024. She was a loving mother, wife, and grandmother.

She always put family first and dedicated her life to her two daughters, her two grandchildren, and her husband Steve. She will watch over her family as their guardian angel as they proceed through life.

She was the last member of a proud family of Perea's, raised by her father Jose and mother Lena in Albuquerque. She grew up with her siblings Willie, Arthur (LuLu), Esther, Mela, Lucille, Bences, Lydia, Stella, and Carmelita. She lost her first daughter, Lena, who got her wings at the tender age of 16.

She is survived by her loving and devoted husband Steve Nix, her two loving daughters, Virginia Padilla and Lisa Nix-Wade, and her pride and joy, grandsons Dylan and David (Quito). She leaves behind two stepchildren, Philip and Laura and her son-in-law Dave Wade.
