ANNIE VALDEZ Obituary

ANNIE VALDEZ
It is with great sadness that my beloved wife of 65 years Annie Valdez was called by our Lord Jesus Christ into His arms on May 24, 2022.
A lifelong resident of Santa Fe, Annie was born and raised in Abiquiu, NM on August 8, 1936.
Annie was preceded in death by her parents Fidel Archuleta and Octaviana Quintana Archuleta; sister Tonita Trujillo (Rey); and brother Johnny Archuleta.
Annie is survived by her husband of 65 years Eli Valdez; daughter Sandra Guest (Michael) of San Francisco, CA; sons Roland and Gene of Santa Fe; grandchildren Marie James (Michael), Matthew Guest, Molly Ann Guest, Jolene Valdez; great granddaughter Isabelle James; sisters Consuelo, Angie (Lalo), Abelina, and Salome; and many nephews and nieces.
Following her career with State and City governments she retired and enjoyed many cruises and tours of many different places and as a member of FOE's REAC.
A devout Roman Catholic at St John the Baptist Catholic Church, Annie is a member of both the Altar Society and the Praying Mothers.
Services will be held on August 3, 2022 at St John the Baptist Catholic Church, 1301 Osage Avenue, Santa Fe, with a Rosary at 10 am, followed by a Funeral Mass at 11 am. An Interment will be held at a later date.
