Petra Gomez Ramirez, 73, was given her wings on Monday, June 19th, 2023 and welcomed home by her Creator. She was born on January 20, 1950 to her parents, Andres Duran and Maria Cyrilda (Placencio) Gomez in Silver City, New Mexico.
She loved with sincerity and lived a life of faith. She never failed to see the beauty in people and the world around her. She was always forgiving to a fault and, through her kindness and love, we were given an ember of compassion that will forever warm our hearts. Her smile, her laughter and the presence of this angel, only briefly lent to those blessed enough to have felt her love, will forever be missed but never ever forgotten.
