    Notes:

    Mary Adele Mentaberry Yrueta

    June 29, 1917

    August 18, 2012

    Mary Adele Mentaberry Yrueta, more affectionately known to everyone as Tia Mary, joined her beloved husband, Johnny Yrueta, in heaven on August 18, 2012. Mary was born on June 29, 1917. She loved life to the fullest and enjoyed traveling, golfing, and spending time with her family and many friends. She spent over fifty years volunteering and enjoying her Euskalduna Danak Bat Basque Club, the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, The Catholic Church and the Altar Society, OLV, PTA and her many golfing friends.

    Mary was born to Damiena Goitiandia Mentaberry and John Mentaberry. She married Johnny Yrueta on December 31,1937. She was the eldest daughter of nine children. She is survived by her sister, Delores (Albert) Jones, and her brothers, Eddie (Jeann) Mentaberry of Winnemucca and her brother, David Mentaberry, of Reno. Her daughter, Deanna (Bob) Prida and Mary's grandchildren, Steven and Tina (Bobby) Hurst and great-grandchildren, Brandon and Courtney reside in Flagstaff. Her daughter, Ruby (Bill) Lowery and grandsons John, and Joe (Lisa) and great-grandchildren, Kyla and Malia, reside in Nevada.

    She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and brothers, John Mentaberry Jr. (Angela), Fausto (Joyce) Mentaberry, Henry (Barbara), George and sister Annie (Frank) Bengoa.

    Mary's long, wonderful life was made possible by her loving, large Basque family and truly caring friends. There are too many to list, but all of you meant a great deal to her and gave her so much joy and happiness.

    Mary attended the Winnemucca Grammar School and graduated from Humboldt County High School in 1936 and received the "Golden Award." She worked for many years as a bookkeeper for the Humboldt County School District and the Community College in Winnemucca. Her countless bowls of "flan" Basque custard, that she made for every funeral and special occasion will be missed. God speed Mary.

    Services will be held at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Winnemucca, Nevada on Saturday, August 25, 2012 beginning with a rosary at 10:30 a.m. followed by a mass at 11 a.m. Funeral arrangements are by Albertson Funeral Home.

The newlywed couple came to the United States on June 21, 1961, to begin their new lives together.

    After mining in Getchell and Lovelock, Rafael planted his roots in Battle Mountain, working for Battle Mountain Gold Company for 26 years. Retiring in 1993, he loved to fish, garden, tend his grapevines and make Basque wine (txakolin). Above all, he enjoyed spending time with his family. His life was outstanding example of a strong work ethic, filled with integrity and devotion to family.

    Rafael is survived by Felipa, his wife of 46 years, son Ralph (wife Lois) of Battle Mountain; daughters Angie Hernandez (husband Robert), Mary Stanley Romero (husband Gary) of Reno. He was so happy to be the “World’s Greatest Aitxitxe” to Hannah Erquiaga and Jayson Cutler of Battle Mountain, as well as Amaia Stanley, Jason, Ryan and Jamie Romero of Reno.

    He is survived by brothers Antonio, Joaquin and Ramon, sisters Martina and Miren of Euzkal Herria and brother Eusebio of Battle Mountain. He is also survived by numerous cousins in northern Nevada.

    He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Felix and Jose Maria and sister Natividad.

    A rosary was held at St. John Bosco Catholic Church in Battle Mountain on Thursday, May 31, at 7 p.m., with funeral services Friday, June 1, at 10 a.m. Arrangements are entrusted to Albertson Funeral Home of Winnemucca.
