Batrice was known for her extraordinary heart and genuine kindness. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Her home was always open to anyone in need—whether someone was going through a difficult time, needed a listening ear, or simply needed a place to feel safe and supported. Batrice gave freely of her time, compassion, and love, never hesitating to help those around her. The warmth she shared and the generosity she showed left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

A Mass will take place at 2 p.m., Friday, April 10, 2026, at Holy Family Catholic Church, Chimayo, NM. Burial will follow at El Potrero Cemetery in Chimayo, NM.
