At age 86, Angie Silva Englisbee stuck to her morning routine. She would attend Mass at St. Pius X Catholic Church in El Paso, then do her shopping at the neighborhood Walmart.

Englisbee’s mind was sharp. She rooted hard for the Dallas Cowboys, and she still drove her car. If she had a weak spot, it was her legs.

“She couldn’t walk fast,” said her niece, Karla Moya-Crites of Santa Fe.
