On November 4, 1969, Rita was born to Roy Vargas Sr and Nellie Vargas in Roswell, New Mexico. Rita attended University High School and studied at ENMU-Roswell to be a medical assistant. Rita went on to work at Los Ninos Pediatrics, where she enjoyed working with children. Rita married Danny Carbajal on February 19, 2011, at Baca Campsite, where they were surrounded by their family and friends. She was a dedicated and loving wife to Danny and a devoted mother to her children, Pete, Dominique, and Angelique.
In Rita's free time, she enjoyed spending time with her granddaughters Alexia, Alyanna, and Leilani, teaching them how to make tortillas and learning how to dance. She loved going to the casino and the outdoors, hunting with her family, and listening and dancing to Spanish music while enjoying life to the fullest. Rita was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Rita loved her brother and sister with all her heart. Her brother Ralph was her partner in crime, and they enjoyed spending time together. She especially loved talking to her sister Renee on the phone; they would laugh, sometimes cry, and gossip about life. She enjoyed talking to her mom daily and always gave her a hard time. She loved spending time and talking with her bonus nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved and always called her Aunt Rita.
Those left to treasure and cherish memories of Rita eternally are her husband of 14 years, Danny Carabajal, at their family home; mother, Nellie Vargas; Son Pedro Anthony Carrasco III and wife Jessenia; twin daughters, Dominique and Angelique Carrasco; three granddaughters Alexia and Alyanna Carrasco, and Leilani Trujillo; brother Ralph Vargas and wife Nicole; sister Renee Trujillo and husband Eric; nephews Roy Vargas III, Larry Vargas, Frankie Archuleta, George Valenzula, Ralphe Noel Vargas, Michael and Gabriel Trujillo; nieces Tierra Vargas and Britany Trujillo; and numerous great-nieces and nephews.
