She grew up in Deming, New Mexico and attended New Mexico State University and the University of Texas at Arlington where she earned her Bachelor's degree in accounting. Irma worked as an accountant in the oil and gas and healthcare industries for over thirty years. She married Richard Henry Pacheco on August 9, 1963, having met back in kindergarten when they sat across from each other in class. Together, Richard and Irma raised two children, Patrick and Angela. Irma had a talent and passion for all things artistic and creative and took great joy in painting with watercolors, oils, and pastels and writing poetry. She was a competitive game player, particularly with Scrabble. As all who were lucky enough to come over for dinner at the Pacheco household can attest, Irma was an amazing chef, and she and Richard always enjoyed a home filled with friends and family sharing wonderful food. However, her greatest love was simply spending time with her husband, her children, and her grandchildren, and she was (almost) always a willing participant in her family's adventures and escapades. She was known for her beautiful smile, kindness, compassion, and devotion to her family and friends. Irma was preceded in death by her father, Jesus, her mother, Maria, and her siblings Nicolasa Gutierrez, Laura Molinar, Celia Pruitt, Maria Merrifield, Soccoro Acosta, Christina Webber, and Jose Antonio Molinar. She is survived by her husband Richard, son Patrick Pacheco, daughter Angela Gette, son-in-law Brent Gette, grandchildren Richard Grant Pacheco, Patrick John Pacheco II, and Caroline Grace Gette, sister Yolanda Scheihing, several brothers-in-law, her sister-in-law, and numerous nieces and nephews.
