Almira Fabiola Tórrez, 81, of Arroyo Seco, passed away on Saturday, February, 2024 following a prolonged illness. In the 1970s, she moved to California but returned to her beloved New Mexico in 1981, where she lived ever since. Fab was involved with her community. She was a member of the Optimist Club of Taos.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Julian Torrez, parents Euralia and Donaciano Torres, and son Daniel Torrez. She adored her dogs Pi (deceased) and Roxy. She is survived by her daughters Christine Torrez and Juliette Torrez; grandchildren Autumn Reid and Fabián Tórrez. Family, dear friends, and many other relatives will miss her smile and company.
