Guadalupe Valles Obituary

Our dear beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Guadalupe "Lupe" Rel Valles, 83, of Las Cruces, entered eternal life and went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, July 7, 2015, at her daughter's home surrounded by her loving family. Lupe, as she was fondly known to family and friends, was born Dec. 15, 1931, in Tortugas to Carlos and Francisca Apodaca Rel. She was a loving mother and homemaker who loved baking biscochos, and preparing and cooking tamales for her family. Lupe always made sure that there was food on the stove for everyone to enjoy when they came to visit. She enjoyed music, was very family oriented and loved family outings. Lupe was a devoted member of the Roman Catholic Church and was a woman of faith, which she instilled in her children.
Those left to mourn her passing include her loving husband of 65 years, Cleto T. Valles of the family home; eight sons, Carlos R. Valles (Mary), Cleto R. Valles (Deborah), Valentin R. Valles, Joe R. Valles (Monica), Leo R. Valles (Sandra), and Johnny R. Valles (Lori), all of Brazito, Victor R. Valles of Las Cruces and Isidro R. Valles (Corina) of Mesilla Park; five daughters, Tomasita V. Chavez (Raymond), and Beatrice "Bea" R. Valles, all of Las Cruces, Irma Valles (Luis) of Albuquerque, Estella V. Hernandez (Joe), of La Mesa, and Frances V. Ontiveros (Reyes), of San Miguel; two sisters, Inez Sambrano of Las Cruces and Erlinda Padilla of Albuquerque. Other survivors include 41 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Lupe was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Valerio Valles; a granddaughter, Inez V. Chavez; a daughter-in-law, Marcella Valles; a brother, and two sisters.
Visitation for Lupe will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, July 10, 2015, in Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine and Parish, 3600 Parroquia St., in Tortugas, where the prayer vigil is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Holy Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 11, 2015, in the same church, with the Rev. Alonso Quiñonez officiating. The rite of committal and interment will follow in San Miguel Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest in the family plot.
Serving as casket bearers will be Orlando, Elias, and Israel Valles, Jacob V. and Albert V. Carrera, Joe V. Hernandez, Reyes V. Ontiveros and Charlie V. Amezquita.
The Valles Family has entrusted their loved one to the care of Baca's Funeral Chapels of Las Cruces, 300 E. Boutz Road. 527-2222. For online condolences logon to www.bacasfuneralchapelslascruces.com .

Lupe, your smile still resonates today as it did while you were here among us. May the Valles family recognize your signs showing them you are still among them. Your big beautiful family continues to grow with wonderful grandbabies that I am certain you blessed as you helped them come to earth. Your children and their families continue to represent upstanding and respectful morals. What a wonderful legacy you and Cleto created with God as your foundation. We miss your smile, your advice, your thoughtfulness, your cooking! We look forward to your signs to remind us that you are still among us and never miss a family event, big or small, loud or quiet. Blessings to you Lupe and the entire Valles family.

Primo Cleto and Valles family; if we can remember lost loved ones in death.... think! God does not forget his children, your wife and your mother! Have faith for she will live again.
Notice the words of this song: "He Will Call"! Friends of our God, though they may pass away,
Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in Gods memry stay, From death he will awaken. Then well come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally..... God has wonderful things in store for our Future! John 6:40

I have known all of you my entire life, through thick and thin, we stayed in touch through all of our lives. When you lose somebody you love it is like losing a limb, you get used to it but you never stop missing it. Having lost both my parents I can tell you that I know how you are feeling. I pray for your comfort in the days to come, may you find peace in Jesus name. If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death since it comes from the hand of the same maker.
