myrandah quintana rsMyrandah Finita Quintana, 20, a resident of Bayard, NM went home to be with our Lord on Sunday, August 26, 2018 in Goodyear, AZ.

She was born March 20, 1998 in Silver City, NM to Robert R. Quintana and Rosella Kirker.

Myrandah was a ray of sunshine to everyone she's ever been around. No matter if her day was good or bad she had a glow that even a stranger wouldn't forget. Some things that her siblings and family won't ever be forgotten. She was sincerely the most unique person with a heart of gold and a warming personality unlike anyone on this earth. She loved so much, and the love was genuine. Her mother and father were her best friends. She enjoyed making people laugh. She enjoyed spending time with all her family; mom, dad, brothers, and sisters especially her niece and nephew whom she loved with all her heart. She was a real jokester, pranks and being silly made her happy. To be out and about cruising around listening to music was her get away.

She was shy and quiet but would still speak her mind. She's the type of girl who can be so hurt; but still look at you and smile. She enjoyed makeup and getting ready even though there was nowhere to go. Her smile was contagious, and her laugh was unforgettable with the cutest snort.

She is survived by her parents, Robert "Bobby" and Rosella Quintana of the family home; two brothers, Robert Quintana Jr. of Silver City; Fabian Quintana (companion Monica) of Phoenix, AZ; two sisters, Charisma Quintana of Bayard; her nephew, Ayden Quintana; her niece, Keiliani Quintana Salas; Erika Quintana of Silver City; maternal grandparents, John and Maggie Kirker of Santa Clara; paternal grandparents and God-parents, Arthur and Olivia Quintana of Bayard; maternal aunts, Marcella Wilson (Steve); Arlene Salazar (Julian); Monica Kirker (Fabian); Joyce Rico (Anthony); paternal aunts and uncles, Arthur Quintana Jr. (Sara); Julie Quintana, Gabriel Quintana (Roxanne); Sonya Hernandez (Israel); she is also survived by numerous cousins.

Visitation will be Monday, September 3 from 9-10 a.m. with the holy rosary to begin at 10 a.m. at Terrazas Funeral Chapels with Dr. Gilbert Arizaga reciting. The funeral liturgy will follow at 11:30 a.m. at Our Lady of Fatima Church with Father Abraham Soliz officiating. Concluding services and interment will follow at Fierro cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Dominique Kirker, Isaac Wilson, Elijah Kirker, Jimmy Rico, Dustin Quintana-Chavez, Arthur Quintana III, Frankie Morales Jr., and Gabriel Quintana Jr. Honorary pallbearers will be the rest of her cousins.
