Ilene Anita Harris was born on February 13, 1978, in Roswell, New Mexico to Albert Harris Sr. and Belinda (Martinez) Harris. Growing up Ilene loved her family, dancing, music of all kinds, and cooking. She was a very faithful person to her religion, and she was a devoted mother, sister, wife, aunt, and friend. She was the type of person that would give you the shirt off her back and she would always have a helping hand to lend anyone.
Ilene's hobbies included baking, cooking, tending to her plants, and she loved to clean. In her later years Ilene endured and overcame her illnesses that she fought for 14 years, and even with that she always fought and kept a smile on her face, and she fought to the very end. She will be dearly missed and never forgotten and loved always by her family and friends and the many people she touched.
Ilene was preceded in death by her father Albert Harris Sr.
She is survived by her husband Viviano Trevino, son Dante Ortega, stepsons Matteo Trevino and Lucas Trevino, mother Belinda Harris, brothers Albert Harris Jr., Robbie Harris and wife Blanca, and Tim Harris, sisters Laura Martinez Mora and husband Rafael, and Irene Harris.
