On
Saturday, September 19, 2009 Dionicio L. Baca, left this world to be at God's
side. We are at peace knowing that he now is with his loving wife, Francisca G.
Baca and children, Antonio, Robert, Anita, and Rita Baca. Dionicio was born in
a close knit community named Stormsvile, in El Paso, Texas on October 9, 1922.
He was loving, a dedicated family man, and a proud U.S. Army Veteran from World
War II. When he was fourteen years old he returned to El Paso from Wilye,
Colorado and began working at Pearson Lumber yard. He met his beloved Francisca
and married her in 1942, shortly after he was drafted. In 1946 he returned to
EL Paso to be with his family and to work in Asarco, from where he retired
after 43 years of service. Our beloved Dionicio enjoyed traveling to Mexico,
California, and Colorado to visit family. Cherishing his memory are sons,
Dionicio, Jr., Pedro, Ramon, Juan, Richard, and Benito Baca, daughters, Maria
Luisa Martinez, Maria de Jesus Gore, Rosa Castaņeda, Magdalena Mendoza, Teresa
B. Aguirre, Dolores Regalado, Linda Baca, Elena McLellan, and Alma Cruz,
