Lila Armijo Pfeufer, 1911-2010
From Pat Esterly, NMGS website editor:
Sadly, we recall Lila Armijo Pfeufer, who was an dedicated member of the early team of volunteers who worked transcribing church records for NMGS publications. The Albuquerque Journal obituary stated that she passed away on January 10, 2010, at 99 years of age.
Lila was a very talented lady with an interesting life and left behind two daughters, a granddaughter, and a great granddaughter, as well as admiring friends. See more about her at French Funeral's online tribute, http://hosting-24467.tributes.com/show/Lila-Pfeufer-87600516.
A private funeral will be announced at a later date.
