CHAVEZ, MARTHA P. At age 69, Martha, our loving wife, mother, and grandmother went home to the Lord on March 29, 2014. She was born on August 18, 1944 to Sigfredo and Herlinda Padilla. One of five children, she grew up in Albuquerque, NM until she moved to Torreon, NM in 1978 with her own growing family. Survived by her husband Frank L Chavez of 47 years, they shared such a close, wonderful, and truly special life together, all while raising their children and enjoying their grandchildren at "Pancho and Lefty's Ranch." She is survived by son Frank Chavez and wife Pamela, their child Angel; daughter Tracy and husband Angelo Abeyta, their children Dominique, Angelique, Ezeqiel and Antoinique; son Marcos Chavez; daughter Monica Chavez; and son Daniel Chavez and his wife Larissa, and their children Valentino, Amaya, Ariana and Leana. She is also survived by her siblings Mike Padilla and wife Dee, Joe Padilla and wife Martha, Joan Anderson, and Arthur Padilla. For all that knew and loved Martha, she will always be remembered as being soft-spoken, caring, patient, thoughtful and happy; while always keeping the wellbeing of all of her family and friends first and foremost on her list of priorities. We are all so grateful for the special time we had together. A Rosary will be held on Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. at the San Antonio Catholic Church in Torreon, NM with Mass to be celebrated immediately after at 11:00 a.m.
