Jean, also known as "Maria Eugenia" or "Tachuela," was born to Ramon Sr. and Clara Potter Alvarez on March 24, 1945 in Lordsburg, NM and a longtime resident of Deming, NM. She was one of fourteen siblings. Jean was very fond of her family and friends. She had a heart of gold. Seeing her family content was what Jean thrived for. Jean was a homemaker for many years and an avid cook. She was best known for her specialties in baking and Mexican foods. A very strong-minded lady and her many humorous moments, are what leave very special memories of Jean behind. Seeing people sadly was never an option for Jean. The biggest and most cherish able hobbies for Jean were the many family gatherings and "Ching, Chings" at the casinos. The dream of her life was to win the lottery and pay everyone's debts and take her brothers and sisters to Las Vegas.

Jean is preceded in death by her parents, Ramon Sr. and Clara, brothers, Felipe, Amado, Ramon Jr., and Jose; sisters, Evelyn, Herlinda, and Veronica. She is survived by her beloved husband of 49 years, Don, her loving daughter Tisha Mangold and husband Francis, three granddaughters, Antoinette Alyce Willey, Meghann Mangold, Heather Mangold, a grandson Thomas Mangold and her long-life bud, Casper (family pet). She is also survived by brothers, Salvador (Sylvia), Gilbert (Ana) and sisters Josephine, Frances (Salvador), Rachel (Magdaleno) and Laura (the late Angel Lopez, Sr. "Aunkie").

'Beloved wife, mother, granny, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, nina: "Rest in peace, spread your wings, fly away, you are set free now."' YOU ARE GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! LOVE YOU LOTS!
