Appleton City Cemetery

A Celebration of her life was held on Saturday, January 27, 2018 in Belen, New Mexico.

Velma “Granny” Hardesty, 81, a resident of Los Lunas, NM passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 21 surrounded by her loved ones. She graduated from Appleton City High School in 1954. She was a member of Belen Christian Church. She was also an avid member of “Valencia Valley Quilters” and “Monday Set & Sew Club”. 

Velma was retired from the State of New Mexico Los Lunas Hospital and Training School, Valencia County Sheriff’s Office and Eastern Valencia County Citizens Patrol and was commissioned “Granny” with the New Mexico Women’s Commission. Granny was an avid quilter who loved sharing her love of the art and her gifts with all her family and friends. She was a spirited outdoors woman, who loved to go out hunting and camping with her family every chance she had. She was always ready with words of encouragement and motivation…with a subtle reminder, a time or two, of who the best hunter was. She also enjoyed traveling each summer to the Appleton City Car Show where she would meet up with her fellow classmates.

She was always full of adventure, never would hesitate to jump on the motorcycle or UTV with her grandsons or go on a random road trip. Her family was her greatest pride and joy. There was never a missed opportunity to brag about the accomplishments of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She truly loved each and every one of them. 

She was preceded in death by her companion, Johnnie Perea; sister, Thelma Smith; brother in law, Murrel Smith; and grandson, Turner Hardesty.

She is survived by her three children, Ed Hardesty of Appleton City, Missouri; Scott Hardesty of Peralta, New Mexico; and Michelle Gallegos and husband Tim of Los Lunas, New Mexico.
