 She is married to Deacon Andy Lopez, and mother to seminarian Robert Lopez. She has 37 years of experience working closely with the public in different capacities, and 18 years of service in Sante Fe. Her willingness to go above and beyond to help families makes her an unforgettable member of Avista and the Santa Fe community.
