Carmen Cardenas

Carmen Cardenas, beloved mother and grandmother, was born in Denver, Colorado, and peacefully returned to the embrace of our kind and loving heavenly Father at the age of 80 on February 16, 2025. In her final years Carmen resided in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she shared joy-fille moments with her devoted daughter.

Carmen was a proud mother to two daughters, Juanita Cardenas and Catalina Zuniga, and a cherished grandmother to five beautiful grandchildren. Her deep love for her Creator was evident in every aspect of her life. Carmen often spoke of her relationship with Jesus, embodying the love and grace of Christ in her daily interactions. This shining example of faith and kindness left a profound impact on her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Though she will be greatly missed, we take comfort in knowing that Carmen is now in the presence of her Creator, surrounded by peace and love. We hold on to the hope that one day, we will be reunited with her in joy.

Rest in peace, Dear Carmen. Your legacy of love will live on in the hearts of many.
