Darla Carpenter (Romero)

Darla Carpenter (Romero)

Darla Romero went home to be with the Lord March 18, 2019.  She was born on October 28, 1946 to John and Augusta Carpenter and was the youngest of eight children.  

Darla loved her family and will be sorely missed.  She enjoyed traveling but especially liked to spend time camping with her friends in Vallecito, Colorado. Darla was an avid reader, a Lobo fan and loyal Dallas Cowboys fan.  She worked at the front desk at Intel where she was able to greet and share a smile with so many of her friends. 

Darla was preceded in death by her parents and by her husband, Joe Romero. She is survived by her son, David Romero and his wife Angelica; her daughter, Robin Brown; grandson, Joshua Romero and wife DeAmbra; granddaughter, Mercedez Hernandez; great grandson, Joshua; great-granddaughter, DeAmbra; sisters, Barbara Rockefeller, Charlene Hill, Shirley Hooven, JoAnn Riley and MJ Carpenter; brothers, Norman Carpenter and wife Betty, John Carpenter and wife Erma as well as numerous nieces and nephews, lifelong friends and the new friends that cared for her at Senior Care NM and her Silver Linings hospice nurse, Samantha.

Services will be held at Albuquerque Bible Church, 320 Montano Rd NW, Albuquerque, on Monday, March 25, 2019 with viewing from 10-11 and service at 11:00.

Greetings to all, I got a call Monday night from Hazel Rosalie Garcia to let me know that classmate and cousin Darla Carpenter had passed away, last week; and service was on Monday. I last talked with her on her birthday last October.

So glad we had reconnected thru our reunion, and then found out we were 7th cousins. We got to spend a week here in SW Virginia exp!oring our Calloway heritage from the Revolutionary war era. Was looking forward to spending time together when I get there in May. Cherish our Jr High days, time together at church with the Reichs, and our adult lives.

My best to all our classmates and friends!

Darla was with us from first grade at Ranchos. I too was glad to reconnect with her at the 50th-- she IS a sweetheart, forever. Condolences to all of us.
