Theresa Terry"" Elaine Chavez

CHAVEZ, Theresa "Terry" Elaine, of Albuquerque and Isleta Pueblo at 51 years old, a daughter, sister, single mother, grandmother and good friend went to be with our heavenly father on Thursday, March 26th, 2009. Terry is survived by her parents, Alfred and Wanda Lente, sons, Michael and fianc�?© Iris, Jason and wife Natalie, Paul "Scooter" and wife Savanna and her beloved daughter Savannah, grandchildren, Leticia, Jason "J-Dawg" Jr., Xavier, Xander, and Ezekiel, brother, Alfred Jr., and wife Martina Lente, sister, Linda Lente, Special Aunt Molly Poafpybitty, and dear friend, Jim Ryder. Terry was a wonderful devoted mother to her children and grandchildren. In her own words, "my heart will always belong to my kids." Terry was always on a football or soccer field cheering being her kids' "Best Fan". Our mother was a fighter and suffered from serious health issues over the last 22 years. She was diagnosed and treated for cancer; however she never showed her pain and suffering. Terry passed away at her home peacefully in her sleep with her cat at her side. Our mother was a strong woman of God and attended Legacy Church faithfully with her children and grandchildren. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt she is with our Lord God, free from the pain and torment this lifelong struggle brought her. This is but a season, for we will meet again soon when it is our time. Pallbearers will be Michael Chavez, Jason Chavez, Scooter Chavez, Angelo Mora, Jim Ryder and Kenny Lingad. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Animal Humane Society in memory of Terry Chavez, 615 Virginia SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108. Terry's care has been entrusted to: Daniels Family Funeral Services 3113 Carlisle Blvd NE Albuquerque, NM 87110 (505)884-1188
