Benjamin "Ben" Torres Naveira, 86, peacefully departed this earth on Monday, December 4, 2023, surrounded by loved ones. He will be remembered as a beloved husband, father, Papa and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Born on July 29, 1937 in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Ben was one of the seven children born to Felipe Torres and Mercedes Naveira. He grew up in Ponce and attended La Escuela Superior Central in Santurce, Puerto Rico, where he excelled academically and formed lifelong friendships. Upon completing his education, he began his professional journey at the family-owned jewelry store, Joyeria Naveira in San Juan, Puerto Rico where his passion for craftsmanship and dedication to his craft shone brightly. His sense of duty led him to enlist in the National Guard, and he served with honor and distinction, retiring after more than twenty years of selfless service. Ben's expertise in the world of jewelry blossomed during his tenure at Joyeria Naveira. His commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction made him an invaluable asset to the family business. In 1981, he set out on a new chapter, relocating to Albany, NY, where he began working at Macy's fine jewelry at Colonie Center. For over 26 years, his work ethic, professionalism, and warm demeanor endeared him to colleagues and customers alike until his retirement in 2007. After his retirement, he and his wife moved to Houston, TX to be closer to family. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Ben was known for his kind and compassionate nature. He had a heart full of love and always went out of his way to help others. His selflessness and generosity touched the lives of many, making a lasting impact on his family and community. In his free time, Ben enjoyed reading and fixing things - he loved his tools and loved to fix just about anything he could try and fix. He often found himself volunteering to help others - he loved the sense of accomplishment when he figured out how to fix something and not have to buy a new one to replace it. He loved spending time with family and friends, creating cherished memories that will be forever treasured. Ben is survived by his loving wife of thirty-seven years Lillian Santos-Torres, children: Roselyn Roque-Santos and husband Paul Benacquista; Vanessa Torres Gonzalez; Carmen Estrella Rosado Santos, grandchildren: Vincent Benacquista, Nicolas Benacquista, Matteo Benacquista all of Cypress, Texas; John-Anthony Rodriguez of Troy, New York; Harrold Torres Figueroa, wife Lori Millan; Brian Torres Figueroa; Kiarianne Torres Figueroa all of Carolina, PR; great grandchildren: Hector Sebastian Rodriguez of Troy, NY; Ryan Torres Millan of Carolina, PR; and Dereck Torres Millan of Carolina, PR and siblings: Maria Mercedes Hickman, Celso Torres, Bismark Torres, Hilda Torres, Fanny Torres. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Elliot Torres Naveira; sons Ben "Tito" Torres Gonzalez, and Javier Torres Gonzalez. A Celebration of Life honoring Benjamin Torres Naveira will be held on Friday, January 19, 2024, at 12:45 pm at Cypress-Fairbanks Funeral Home, with Military Honors at his final resting at Houston National Cemetery at 2:30 pm. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects and share their memories during this time of remembrance. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather "Papa". In his retirement, Ben made it his mission to embrace life fully. He generously shared his time and skills, always ready to lend a helping hand. Whether it was picking up grandchildren from school, attending hockey practices, or assisting with household repairs, Ben's kindness and generosity touched the lives of many. Though his physical presence may no longer be with us, Ben's spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched. May he rest in peace and forever be remembered as a cherished husband, father, Papa, friend, and inspiration to all.Show more

Mary Maitlen

Age - 93

December 9, 2023

Mary Louise (Allee) Maitlen—known affectionately as mom, grandma, and Mary Lou—departed this earth on November 30, 2023, at the age of ninety-three. Mary was born in Pueblo, Colorado, in 1930. In 1948, she married the man whom she would spend the next fifty- four years of her life, Carl Eugene Maitlen. In 1953, Carl and Mary moved to New Mexico, the place they would build a life together and raise their five children: Tommy, Larry, Brenda, Terrie, and Lester. Together they purchased a one-hundred acre farm along the bank of the Animas River just north of Aztec. This would become their legacy property—a place where their children were raised, grandkids roamed, and countless memories were made with friends and family. Mary loved to host and spend time with family. Mary excelled in gardening and cultivating flowers; she enjoyed a cup of coffee in the midst of a meaningful conversation; she loved chocolates; and she loved ice cream, perhaps, the most. She had the kind of smile that would light up a room and every heart in it. Mary’s greatest legacy, unquestionably, is her children. The mark of a great mother is having adult children who adore her and love spending time with her. Without question, each of Mary’s five children loved her deeply until the very end. Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Grace Allee, her brother Daniel Allee, and her husband, Carl Eugene Maitlen. Mary is survived by her sister, Joyce Lupton; brother, Dallas (Claudia) Allee; children Tommy Maitlen, Larry (Charllotte) Maitlen, Brenda (Ken) Norris, Terrie Waldron, and Lester Maitlen; along with eight grandchildren, twenty-one great grandchildren, and sixteen great-great grandchildren. A memorial service to honor Mary will take place on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 10AM, at Calvary Chapel Farmington, 6925 E. Main Street, Farmington, NM 87401, along with a viewing of Mary at the same location from 9AM to 9:45AM.

" It is a word full of hope and love, a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart. The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. When asked if there was anything she wanted her family and friends to know she wrote "I am blessed beyond words to have had the privilege to parent three such outstanding individuals; I have enjoyed every minute of that role in my life, even the 'not so smooth' portions of it. The one privilege that equals having been a mother is the joy and privilege it has been to have such a loving, devoted husband all these years.
