~Obituary~

Claudia Ines Carrasco de Quintana, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister returned to her Heavenly Father on Dia de los Muertos, November 2, 2023.

Claudia was born in 1970 in Mexico City, Mexico to Nicolas Carrasco Torres and Esperanza Calderon Arrellano. She was raised in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico and moved to New Mexico where she married the love of her life, Joseph Marcos Quintana on May 17, 1997. Together they raised their 3 beloved children in Arroyo Seco.

Claudia devoted her life to her faith and her family. She was a devout Catholic and an active member of La Santisima Trinidad in Arroyo Seco. She had a special devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and served as a member of Las Guadalupanas. She shared her love of God with her family, not only in word but also through her actions. Claudia loved others deeply and was always the first to lend a helping hand to those in need. You would often find her volunteering with Our Lady of Guadalupe's Youth Group, caring for her nieces and nephews on her days off from ¡Inspire day care, and spending time with her family, both in Taos and in Chihuahua. Her loving smile and generous heart are only a couple of the many things that will be especially missed.

She is preceded in death by her husband of nearly 20 years, Joseph Marcos Quintana; her father, Nicolas Carrasco Torres; mother and father in-law Pablo J. Quintana and Rose M. Quintana; and infant sister Aurorita. Claudia is survived by her children Jose Nicolas (Julia), Mariana Guadalupe, and Maria Fernanda; beloved granddaughters Esperanza Ines and Gabriela Magdalena; and her mother Esperanza Calderon Arrellano. Survivors also include her siblings Jaime, Ana (Lalo), Marco, and Gustavo (Mary); her godchildren, Ximena, Ana Paula, Vanessa, and Karyme and many more beloved nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
