1934-2021 Nora Vialpando Moya, age 86, a resident of Peralta, NM, passed away last Friday, January 8, 2021, after a brief battle against Covid 19. She was a very active and dedicated member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Peralta.

Nora worked for the Los Lunas schools as a cook and also at Benny’s in Bosque Farms, for several years until she retired. She was very devoted to her family, who were the joy of her life! She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, a great listener and very non-judgmental. She was a beacon of light, strength, and spirituality, she prayed daily and always asked for the Lord’s guidance and peace. Nora was a person of kindness and had a huge heart with so much love to share with everyone and anyone. Nora had a beautiful voice, loved to sing, and spent endless hours singing with Claudio and their friends when they played guitar. She was a fantastic cook, a great baker, and always had plenty of food to share with everyone. Nora completely enjoyed social family events and gatherings. She will be so sadly missing in the Moya family, and is leaving an incredible, rich legacy. Per Nora’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
