Lorenza Carrica

Lorenza Carrica was called by her heavenly Father to her eternal home on June 18, 2015.

Born August 9, 1936 Lorrie or Lencha (as she was called by most) became the daughter of Santiago and Antonia Trujillo of La Isla, Texas. She lived and was mostly schooled in Fabens, Texas and ultimately graduated from High School in Grants, New Mexico. She was the 15th and last child of a blended family and is currently survived only by Alfredo Trujillo, a full brother living in Phoenix, Arizona.

Lencha's full and half siblings were Trujillos - Petra, Catarino, Jose, Nieves, Santiago, Adolfo, Alfredo, Marcelino, Dionicio, Teodoro, Maria and Antonia. Porras - Amado and Amada.
She married Jean Baptiste Carrica (J.B.) over 55 years ago. They have six children: Tina Kunko (Bill), Hobbs, NM; Xavier Carrica, Los Angeles, CA; Vincent Carrica (Heather) of Albuquerque, NM; Greg Carrica, Eureka, CA; Dominic Carrica (Beryl), Grand Junction, CO; and Monica Archer (Matt) of Arvada, CO. Her twelve grandchildren are Michael, Jakob, John, Garrett, Lauren, Chris, Rebecca, Anne, Kaleb, Joel, Bennet and Jack. A great-grandchild Leyton is expected in August.

Lorrie's favorite activities were caring for people, clerking at drug stores and being a Mother, Grandmother, and Friend. She was proud to be a woman, a Wife, a Mexican-American, a Franciscan Third Order Member, a Catholic (Christian) and a friend to whomever she met. What she accomplished in this life can only be appropriately recognized in heaven.

Rosary will be said at Chapel of Hope Funeral Home, Monday, June 22, 2015 at 6:00 pm and the Resurrection Mass will be celebrated at St. Helena's Catholic Church on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Internment will take place in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral Columbarium in Las Cruces, New Mexico sometime in the near future.

Gratitude is extended to The Hobbs Health Care, Gentiva Hospice and to Frs. Ricardo Bauza' and Rick Zerwas. In lieu of flowers, donations to the New Mexico Alzheimer's Association are appreciated.
