Cristina Telles, 80, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of October 21, 2026.

Born in Albuquerque on July 30, 1946, Cristina grew up in Belen, where she formed many lifelong connections. She was a dedicated family matriarch, remembered by all who knew her for her radiant smile, profound kindness, and the fierce, unconditional love she showered upon her family and friends.

Cristina was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Cuco Telles. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children, Tim Telles (Melissa) and Emily Torres (Robert); and her four cherished grandsons, Timothy Telles, Brandon Telles, Donovan Torres, and Dylan Torres.

A soul taken too soon, she will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Funeral services are pending and will be announced by the family at a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the caring and compassionate professionals at
