Angela Apodaca
October 23, 1983 - December 7, 2025
Age 42
Angela Apodaca, former resident of Peralta and Los Lunas High School graduate,
passed away peacefully the morning of December 7, 2025 after battling a severe
illness. During the last weeks of her life, she was surrounded by family members and
friends that truly loved her. Angela was a talented gymnast in her younger years and
had a profound love for animals. She had her struggles through the years but never lost
her fighting spirit and "wild child" ways.
Angela is survived by her mother, Yolanda Zambrano (husband Jose), cousin whom
she considered a brother, Erik Chavez (wife Mishay), and family members and friends
that truly loved and cared for her. She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Dan
Apodaca, grandmother, Corine Apodaca, and paternal grandfather, Manuel Turrietta.
A private memorial will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation in
Angela's name to Animal Humane New Mexico (www.animalhumanenm.org/donate) or
the Good Shepherd Center (www.gscnm.org) is appreciated.
The family would like to extend great thanks to the medical professionals at
Presbyterian Downtown Hospital ICU and Presbyterian Kaseman Hospice. They worked
around the clock to make sure Angela was well taken care of and pain free during her
final days.
