It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister, grandmother, and friend. She was a woman who loved fiercely, gave endlessly, and had one of the biggest hearts anyone could ever know. She never knew how to say no when someone needed help. Whether it was a family member, a friend, or someone she barely knew, she would give whatever she could, without hesitation and without expecting anything in return. Helping others was simply who she was. Her love for her family was immeasurable. She was the kind of wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister, and grandmother who made those around her feel loved, protected, and cared for. Her family was her greatest treasure, and she poured her heart into creating memories that will be cherished for generations. Mom found joy in the simple things in life, especially spending time fishing with the people she loved. She also possessed an incredible gift with her hands. She was a remarkably talented seamstress and crocheter, creating countless beautiful and meaningful pieces for family and friends.

Louisa B. Valdespino, 102, a lifelong resident of Deming, New Mexico, passed away peacefully in her sleep on September 5, 2026, surrounded by the love and prayers of her family and friends.

Born in Chamberino, New Mexico, to Julian B. Bernal and Ramona Garcia Bernal. Louisa spent her life in the Deming farming community, where she became known for her strong farm businesses, her generosity, creativity, and deep Catholic faith. A devoted mother, grandmother, great‑grandmother, and great‑great‑grandmother. She touched countless lives through her kindness, wisdom, and willingness to help anyone in need.

One of Louisa's most enduring expressions of faith was the hundreds of cord rosaries she handcrafted and gifted to family, friends, and her church. She also generously supported St. Ann's and Holy Family Catholic Churches when she had the production and yield of her farming annual harvested crops.

Louisa was a successful farmer with an extraordinary business mind, leading teams to cultivate her crops and earning numerous blue ribbons at the county fair for her produce, canned goods, and livestock. She and her husband Ruben established Valdespino Nurseries, providing hundreds of evergreen trees to families, churches, and public spaces across Deming and Luna County—many of which still stand today as part of her living legacy.

Danny Ross Ruebush passed away on Thursday, September 3, 2026, after a short but courageous battle with cancer, a fighter to the end. Born on June 27,1955 in Deming, NM, to Shelton Walker Ruebush and Pernedia "Nita" Hays Ruebush. Danny lived a life deeply rooted in hard work, faith, family, and a profound love for the great outdoors.

His early days were spent growing up alongside his nine siblings and many cousins on the farm at Red Mountain. Well known for getting into shenanigans alongside his best friend Paul Offutt, he fondly described his childhood as an adventurous one, but kept some of the "good stories" to himself.

At the heart of Danny's life was his beloved wife of 47 years, Debbie. Danny and Debbie were true partners in every sense of the word. Side-by-side, they built a life together, farming the land, working hard, and raising their seven children.

After graduating from Deming High School Danny dabbled in a few careers, helping to build the smelter at Playas, NM, drying chile at Sun Products and building gas plants throughout the U.S. for Holloman as a construction superintendent, however, his true passion was farming.
