Mary was born in Albuquerque, NM on January 16, 1954. The ninth of 10 children she lived life to the fullest, enjoying her flowers, of which the first and most beautiful flowers were always flowers for Our Lady. She also enjoyed butterflies, sewing, cooking, and wildlife. She most loved spending time with her grandchildren, teaching, playing, gardening and loving them. She was a mother with the heart of a mother, gentle, loving, forgiving, guiding, teaching and full of love. She carried her burdens with great dignity, never becoming despondent or giving up. She had great faith in God, until the very end and lived always with hope and joy, looking forward to every day. She worked in customer service, education and for a check making company. She will be greatly missed, with her lovely smile and zest for life. There will never be another Mary Calvillo and she will live on in our hearts forever.
