Patricia E. Espinosa

Patricia E. Espinosa, age 75, a resident of Los Lunas, NM passed on September 1, 2022, after several long illnesses. She was surrounded by her loving family in her home. During the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Pat breathed her last breath and was carried by a band of angels into the loving arms of Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior. Pat is preceded in death by her son, Ricky Espinosa; parents, Mike Chavez and Patsy Davis; and sister, Vicky Chavez. She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Deacon Eddie Espinosa; their two children, Laura Tafoya and husband, Ray, and Tina Aragon and husband, Victor (deceased); three grandchildren Miranda Baca, Tony Tafoya and wife, Celeste, and Angelina Aragon; four great-grandchildren, Juliet, Izabella, Elijah, and Camilla; brothers Larry and Tony Chavez; and several loving brothers and sisters in-law, nieces, nephews, and many beautiful friends. Pat was born December 7, 1946, in Albuquerque, NM and was raised in Hawthorne, NV where she met the love of her life, Eddie Espinosa. They were married on May 18, 1962, and settled in New Mexico, where they raised their family. Pat really loved camping and fishing and enjoyed outings until she fell ill. One of her favorite past times was probably shopping which is where she visited with many on a daily basis. As a homemaker, she was a wonderful cook and she helped care for her grandchildren, leaving behind many wonderful memories for them. Some might describe Pat as a “fashionista” because she was always dolled up no matter where she was. Pat was also young at heart and loved having a good time with everyone. Many will always remember her silliness and love of others and many have great stories of how she made them laugh. Her faith was very important to her and her family. Pat was a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, attended church until she was no longer able, was part of a woman’s prayer group for many years, and participated and supported her husband’s ministries. The family would like to thank everyone for their support, love, prayers, and condolences. All services will be held at San Clemente Catholic Church. There will be a Public Visitation from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a Rosary to be recited at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 18. A Final Visitation will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 followed by a Mass of the Resurrection at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 19. Interment will follow at San Clemente Catholic Cemetery. A reception will be held at San Clemente Parish hall after all services have concluded. Please sign Patricia’s online tribute at www.romerofuneralhomenm.com Romero Funeral Home, 609 N.
