She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, and one sister.
Known to many as Diane, Dionisia grew up in the Santa Barbara neighborhood where she spent her free time mischievously with her five sisters and three brothers. Married in November, 1952, Dionisia raised four children in Albuquerque before moving to Grants in 1974. Dionisia was a giving, selfless woman who involved herself in many community activities. Her two most prominent were the B.P.O.E. Does and the Hospital Auxiliary. She served the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop for 17 years eventually becoming a chairwoman, retiring only because her health could not afford her the ability to continue. Camping, fishing, embroidery and bowling were among Dionisia's favorite pastimes. A loving sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Dionisia lived for her family placing them above all else. She looked forward to opportunities when everyone could come together. As she grew older her greatest joy was sharing stories of all the precious memories that were created, memories that her surviving loved ones will cherish forever. You have been the light of our lives for so many years. It is difficult to say good bye, but we have peace and comfort in our hearts trusting that you are now in the presence of our lord. Direct Funeral Care of Albuquerque was in charge of arrangements.
