JimenezFFelicitas N. Jimenez, passed away as she slept peacefully at her home on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. She was born on September 2, 1932 in Pinos Altos, NM to Genaro and Juanita Jimenez.

From the onset of her life, she faced many difficult and physical limitations which restricted her; and was wheelchair bound throughout her lifetime. Despite this she was a living testament to those around her of a God-Given Grace unwavering Faith and acceptance to her Heavenly Father. She gave us great pleasure to see her express a childlike exuberance to Birthday and Holiday celebrations spent with close family. She was a communicant of St. Francis Newman Center and received communion at home made possible by Nancy Thomas.

She was lovingly cared for at her home by great nephew Brandon Fullen and his wife Adrianna.
She leaves behind a brother, Gabriel Jimenez (Maria). Also surviving her are five generations of nephews and nieces, too numerous to mention. She was preceded in death by her parents, Genaro and Juanita Jimenez; her sisters, Connie Herron; Rosa Gomez; nephews, John Becerra, Andrew Davila, Sammy Diaz Herron, niece, Suzanna Georgia Walkins. Those who remained close to her in her remaining years, were truly blessed to have "Our Angel in Our Midst."
