We are sad to announce that Patricia “Pat” Ludi-Gordon passed away peacefully on March 4, 2023 surrounded by her son and siblings at Christus St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe, NM.  Pat was born in Las Vegas, NM to Tony and Theresa Ludi on December 1, 1947.

She was preceded in death by her parents Tony and Theresa Ludi, brothers Michael and Steve Ludi, paternal grandparents William and Veneranda Ludi, maternal grandparents Apolonio and Genoveva Crespin and  companion Adam Trujillo.

She is survived by her son Sean Gordon (Kelly) from Arizona, beloved granddaughter Amanda Gordon from Portland, Oregon, Kylie and Dylan LaFlemme from Arizona. One sister Ruthanna “Tana” Bonney (Mitch), brothers Tony Ludi Jr, Chris Ludi, John “Caboose” Ludi (Angela) all of Las Vegas, NM., and beloved Aunt Sally Bonney, several nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and cousins.  As well as best friends and companions Migo and Chloe of Trementina, NM, and special friends Mary Garcia of Roswell, NM, Virginia and Frank Franco of Alamogordo, NM, Bella and Joe Lujan of Las Vegas, NM and Michael McKee Agency of Roswell, NM.

Pat graduated from OLOS School, Robertson High School and attended Highlands University. She worked for Gordons Jeweler’s where she trained in jewelry making and designing. She then decided to travel and explore different parts of the country, eventually settling down where she raised her son in Roswell, NM. There she took an interest in muscle and racing cars. She owned and was very proud of her 1969 Z28 Camaro 4 speed. She retired after many years of dedicated service from Michael McKee Insurance Agency.

Pat enjoyed playing Bingo with her friend Mary and enjoyed her trips to Las Vegas and Laughlin Nevada with her parents, brother, sister and brother-in-law. She was very outgoing and enjoyed meeting new people.

She loved to spend time with her special nephew Daniel “Baba” Bonney. She would spend her time with him making him laugh by making faces at him. He would respond to her funny faces and laugh up a storm together.

While on a family visit to Las Vegas, she rekindled an old friendship with Adam that eventually turned into a love that would last for the rest of her life. After retirement she moved to Trementina and enjoyed listening to Spanish music, dancing, fishing, caring for the animals, gardening, and traveling alongside Adam. She enjoyed taking her ATV around the property and teaching her great nephews Michale and CJ how to drive when they spent time with her at the ranch.
