Mary was born on Christmas day in 1954 in Port Hueneme, California. She lived in Lompoc, CA, Yuma, AZ, and came to Alamogordo, NM in 1963 at the age of 8 years graduating from Alamogordo High School in 1973. She was a longtime member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

Mary is survived by her two brothers, Robert Vigil of El Paso, TX and LeRoy Vigil of San Antonio, TX; her two children, Emilio Torres of Alamogordo and Christina Torres of Goldendale, Washington; multiple nieces, nephews and grandchildren. 

She is preceded in death by her parents, Margarito and Manuelita Vigil; three brothers, Alfredo Julian, Simon Rey and Gilbert Michael Vigil.

Mary was such a sharing, caring and loving person. She was there for us, and what she did for us and others, was with pleasure and always lighted by a smile. She will lovingly be missed by all who knew her or knew of her.

We all know that life, this life, is all but a temporary assignment.

A later date will be set by the family for services and a celebration of life.

The Vigil-Torres family has entrusted their loved one to the care of Alamogordo Funeral Home.
