Lupe was born October 15, 1950 in Albuquerque, NM to Noe and Mary Marquez. Mom was an amazing softball catcher and she absolutely loved being in the Chama River. Mom loved life and lived life to the fullest. Mom was always surrounded by grandchildren and family who waited on her hand and foot. Her love of donuts and apple fritters and enchiladas was never ending. There were never enough crossword puzzle books in the world for her. Mama always made sure you knew her presence and your responsibilities and told you if you weren't. We will always love and miss you. Take comfort in knowing you cared and loved us so, and that you are finally together with all of your family. Guadalupe is survived by her husband of 44 years, Dennis Ortiz; daughters, April Lassa, Linda Ablett; sons, John Ortiz, Isaac Ortiz, and Andrew Ortiz; and many grandchildren who loved their Nana very much.
