 Adela was born June 4, 1970 in Carlsbad, N.M. to Felipe O. & Tomasa N. Villareal. She was born and raised in Carlsbad N.M. and lived her life to the fullest each and every day. Adela was a go-getter and let nothing stand in her way. You could find Adela with her partner in crime, Slick. Bonnie & Clyde, they were each other's ride or die. They could be caught running around with their grandchildren, whether it be out to restaurants enjoying a good meal, swimming in the pool with music and a cookout going on, making sno cones for all her grandchildren, or in the kitchen cooking up some of her AMAZING food teaching her kids and grandchildren how to cook up a famous Adela meal. Adela had one of the biggest hearts and when she loved, she loved hard. She would do anything for anyone even if it meant giving up her last dollar or feeding them and opening her doors with wide open arms. Adela was the glue to her family any and everything you would need to know, Dela had the answer. She loved each and every one of her grandchildren; they were her whole world along with her 2 daughters Tina and Janell. You would find them together getting ready to hit the Bingos. Dela was very close to her two brothers Tullie and Tomas and loved them with all her heart, she was very involved in her nieces and nephews lives and loved them all as her own. Adela loved talking on the phone with friends and family and keeping everyone up on all the 411 going on, and facetime with her cousin Terry laughing and talking about all kinds of mess and all the future plans. If you knew Dela she had a nickname for everyone and always cracking jokes and memories. Adela missed her mom so very much after losing her 5 months ago and now she is reunited with her momma. Adela loved her church in Alamogordo Mountain View with Pastor Anthony and could not wait to share all the beautiful stories and blessings that God has blessed her with. She was always so very Thankful to God for turning her life around and the blessings she received every day. Her words were always “I am so Blessed” Adela was loved by so many and will never be forgotten. We will always remember her contagious smile and laugh that we will always hold close to our heart forever one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. She gave us all such beautiful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
