Ty's Take
Clare Villemez worked this valley for eighty-some years, and obituaries in a town like this aren't just names in a box—they're the thread count of what holds us together. When you lose someone who planted roots here deep enough to see the Mesilla grow from farmland into a city, you lose a witness to how much and how fast things change.

That hunger, and the people who answered it, that's what Clare's generation passed down to us.
