Eremita Fresquez

Eremita “Erma” Fresquez – Age 88, a resident of San Pedro passed away early Friday morning, January 14, 2022, surrounded by her loving family.  Erma was born on December 29, 1933, in El Rancho, NM and went on to meet the love of her life Ben at the age of 18.  From that day forward they were inseparable, and she became the most loyal and loving wife of 67 years.  Her legacy includes 8 children, 18 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.  Life will never be the same without this incredibly strong, beautiful, intelligent, charismatic, hilarious, selfless and strong-swilled woman who we all loved dearly.  Erma will be greatly missed by all but will forever reside in heaven dancing with Ben and watching over their family and friends.
