Mary Elizabeth Howell

Mary was homeschooled and a dual-credit student at El Paso Community College. Mary loved participating in 4-H with the Santa Teresa Ridgerunners and Doña Ana County 4-H and was active in The Rio Church.

Mary loved her sister, giving gifts, raising poultry, talking with friends, pulling pranks, and baking sweets for others. Mary was an excellent student and had planned to study nursing at the University of Northern Colorado.

Mary is survived by her parents, Martin and Jennifer Howell; her sister, Sarah Howell; grandparents, Mary Strenn and Elizabeth and Martin DeRoos; her uncles Michael and Stephen Strenn; her aunts Denise Strenn, Roya Mokhtari, and Tara Hall; and her cousins Noah, Luke, Ella and Kian Strenn; and Casey and Hayley Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Doña Ana County 4-H in Mary’s name. Donations can be sent to: Dona Ana County 4-H Council
