In loving Memory of Margaret "Bobbie" Aguirre Placencio

 

July 9, 1936 - July 4, 2025 

With profound love and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Bobbie, who departed this world on Friday, July 4, 2025 at the age of 88.  A light in the lives of all who knew her, she leaves behind a legacy of compassion, joy and unshakable love for her family. 

Born in Deming, NM, to her parents, Edwardo and Maria Mercedes (Gonzales) Aguirre, Bobbie was a vibrant spirit from the beginning.  As a child, she was known for zipping through the neighborhood on roller skates, laughter trailing behind her like music in the air.  That same joyful energy would follow her throughout her life. 

A mother to seven, she gave her whole heart to raising her children with strength, patience and unconditional love.  She was the cornerstone of her family- nurturing, wise and always ready with a song on her lips.  Her devotion to caregiving extended beyond her family; as a professional caregiver, she poured herself into helping others, offering comfort and kindness to those in need. 

Larry was born on June 22, 1948, in Hanover, New Mexico to Herbert and Agripina Carreon. He was a graduate of Deming High School and later in life earned a Bachelor's degree of Business Administration from Western New Mexico University. For the next 31 years, Larry worked in Hurley, NM at the Kennecott Copper Mine. During this time, he also enlisted in the Army National Guard and served his country honorably for 33 years, retiring in 2002. Upon his retirement, Larry began a new career as a very successful realtor at Deming Realty Company. He found much joy in helping families find their forever home.

Larry enjoyed traveling, spending time outdoors and especially, coaching Senior League baseball for many years with his brother Albert. Still being called "Coach" by former players today. Larry was known for his generosity, fun-loving nature, and deeply valued his lifelong friendships. 

Larry married Frances Pacheco on January 9, 1971, in Deming, NM at St. Ann's Catholic Church. Together they raised their three daughters Denise (Felix) Holguin of El Paso, Texas, Tammy (Mark) Castorena of Peoria, Arizona, and Frances (Jeremy) Wilson of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
