OBITUARY: Connie Leon

d. September 3, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Connie Leon, who at the age of 73 and a long battle with cancer, went to meet her Savior Jesus Christ. She passed away peacefully at her home in Cerro surrounded by her loved ones.


Our mom was born on December 5, 1950, to Richard and Margaret Leon. She is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her children Anton (Geneveive), Juli (Marvin), Naomi (Peter) and Sidni: her cherished grandchildren Alyssah (Jose), Audri, A.J., Daniel, Anthony, Jeremy, Katalina, Alena, Jeremiah, Pancho and Cristo; great-grandchildren Aria, Noah and Peter. She will be missed by her loving brothers and sisters Teresa, Juanita (Robert), Joseph (Joann), Ricky (Rachel), Jose (James), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.


Our family would like to thank everyone for the love and prayers they provided to our mom and family. A special thank you to the nurses at Mountain Home Healthcare and all her brothers and sisters at Living Word Ministries. We would also like to thank Joaquin and De Vargas Funeral Home for taking care of our mom as she was placed to rest.


The funeral service was held Saturday September 14, 2024 at Living Word Ministries in Questa with a meal which followed at the Questa VFW.
