She welcomed everyone with open arms and fed anyone who visited her. She left behind many memories of laughter and joy to all who knew her.

Susan P. Duarte, lifelong resident of Deming, has entered eternal rest on February 12, 2024. Susan, or “Susie”, was a warm and inviting person. She was well known for her cooking and baking, especially her popcorn balls and biscochos, which people could never eat just one. Susie would cook for events, parties and just to sell and share her love for making good food, often wrangling in her sisters and family to help! When she wasn’t cooking meals her other hobbies included canning homemade jams, fruit butters, and chiles, playing bingo and laughing with her loved ones. She looked forward to the Holy Family klobase bingo to win her family a turkey for thanksgiving, which she did every year. She will be greatly missed in many ways.
