Fedora "Dora" Ann Marie Carpenito

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Mother and Nonna 

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beautiful Mother and Nonna, Fedora (Dora) Carpenito, who left this world on February 10, 2025. She was the heart and soul of our family, a woman of incredible strength, warmth, and kindness. 

She had a spirit that shined brightly in everything she did. She was tough as nails yet had a heart that knew no bounds. Her home was always open, welcoming all with open arms, a warm meal, and a place to feel loved. Cooking was her love language, and every dish she made was filled with care, laughter, and tradition. Her passion for food, family, and togetherness created memories we will cherish forever. 

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures—traveling to new places, dancing to her favorite music, and most of all, spending time with those she loved. Her strength and generosity knew no limits; she would do anything for anyone, always putting others before herself. 

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that her love and legacy will live on in each of us. We will miss her beyond measure, but we will carry her spirit in our hearts every day. 

She is survived by her children Tina, Gina, Elizabeth (Buddy), Sabina (John), and Nino, her grandchildren Bianca (Chris), Amanda (Avram), Victoria (Kevin), Michael (Michelle), Charlie (Janae), Candace (Catherine), Bryan, Mikey (Kim), and Victor, and her great grandchildren Joey, Anahi, Ellie, Grayson, Asher, Ethan, Landon, Ella, Kane, Theodore, Jack, Aly, Easton, and Baby Schaus. While we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the love she so freely gave. 

A service to honor and celebrate her life will be held on February 26, 2025, Rosary at 10:00am and Mass at 10:30am at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church (Rio Rancho, NM). 

To our Beloved Mother and Nonna—thank you for your endless love, for the lessons you taught us, and for the warmth you brought into our lives. We love you always and forever. 

Now you can rest peacefully.
