Rebecca “Becky” Baca

1946-2022

Rebecca “Becky” Baca, age 75, a resident of Los Lunas, and a devout member of San Clemente Catholic Church, was called home to our Lord on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, surrounded by her loving family.

Rebecca was selfless, passionate, courageous, kind and very giving. These beautiful qualities reflect the love she had for her family and Jesus. With Rebecca’s calm and kind spirit, she was able to touch so many lives, she had an abundance of unconditional love to share with everyone in her life and filled their hearts with joy.

Rebecca will be remembered for the way she lit up a room with her beautiful smile, gracious presence, her enduring faith, wisdom and strength of will. Even when life handed her many trials, her faith never broke, it grew stronger.

“She fought a long but humble fight and has now finished her race, dancing in the glory of our Lord.”

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want Psalm: 23

Until we meet again my beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will remain in our hearts forever and her legacy will live on.
