Liana Swarengin, 35, of Artesia, New Mexico, passed on to glory, surrounded by her family and friends, at home on Friday, July 19, 2024.

Liana was born on July 31, 1988 to William and Laura Bullock and grew up in Las Cruces. In 2007 while attending NMSU, she met the love of her life, Lance. The two were wed in June 2009 and recently celebrated 15 years of marriage. They have three children together, Adeline 12, Oliver 8 and Dillon 6. Lance and the children were the center of Liana’s life. A devoted wife and mother, Liana loved to care for her family, but most of all Liana loved the Lord. Her faith in Jesus Christ was central to her life and was evident in everything she did.

Liana enjoyed traveling, caring for the family farm and homeschooling her children. She was an avid learner and spent many hours reading and studying the Scriptures. One of Liana’s proudest accomplishments was the writing and publishing of her book “The Wonderfully Ordinary Adventures of Part and Bell.” However, it was Liana’s community of friends and family who surrounded her in her final days that speaks most clearly of her greatest achievement, a life dedicated to caring for others.

Liana was preceded in death by her father and her grandparents, John and Mary Yarbrough, and niece Remi Bullock. She is survived by her husband, children, mother, and two brothers, Michael Bullock and Sean Bullock.

Services will be held Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 10am at First Church Artesia, 402 W Grand Ave, followed by fellowship and a meal at the same location.

Dawn Thigpen was born April 28, 1969 to Donald (Pug) Thigpen and Dixie (Penny) Thigpen in Artesia, NM. She passed away in Roswell, NM at the age of 55 after a lengthy illness.

As part of the fourth generation of the family farm, Dawn and her sisters, Lyn and Kim, grew up surrounded by the love of their great grand parents, grand parents, parents and the Cottonwood Community. As a child, Dawn was curious and full of mischief. Typical of the youngest child, Dawn got great pleasure aggravating her sisters and cousins during their summers at the farm. She had a love for dogs and either had one, wanted one or was getting one. As the youngest of three, she kept her mom and dad on their toes.

Dawn graduated from Artesia High School and after High School, she married and moved to Phoenix, AZ where she had her son Dustin Ford. She then moved to Lubbock, TX and onto Artesia where she remarried and had her daughters, Tori and Lexi Cockrum. Dawn later moved to Portales, and then Roswell, where she received her Bachelor of Science degree and worked as a paralegal. Dawn continued her career, moving to Denver, CO to be near her son.

She eventually returned to Roswell to work and be near her parents.

She was preceded in death by her father, Pug, her mother, Penny and her sister, Lyn Harrison.

A memorial will be held in the Fall of this year.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Cure Alzheimer’s Foundation 34 Washington St., Suite 310 Wellesley, MA 02481 curealz.org/donate “Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don’t know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we love and should know who elude us. But we can still love them—we can love completely without complete understanding.” —Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It

RUIDOSO DOWNS RACE TRACK TO MOVE REMAINDER OF RACING SEASON AND HORSE SALES TO ALBUQUERQUE

Newsstaff

(Ruidoso Downs, NM) Ruidoso Downs Race Track has made an agreement with state racing officials and Downs of Albuquerque Owner Paul Blachard to move the remainder of the 2024 racing meet to Albuquerque.

“We are grateful to Chairman Billy Smith and Mr. Blanchard for working with us,” General Manager Rick Baugh said. “We are all working in coordination to do what is best for the New Mexico racing industry.”

Ruidoso Downs was forced to cancel five races on Saturday and the entire race card today when flash flooding caused major damage to the race track and two bridges located near the entrance of the facility and in the barn area. The race track and casino are currently closed until temporary bridges are put in place.

“The safety of our customers, employees and animals are most important,” Baugh said. “Ruidoso Downs will take the necessary steps over the course of the offseason to make the necessary repairs. We look forward to our visitors coming back in 2025.”

Final preparations to continue the race meeting including when the first races will be held in Albuquerque are being finalized. “There are plenty of moving parts to this decision,” Baugh said. “We intend to reschedule the Rainbow Derby and Rainbow Oaks along with the New Mexico- bred races that were missed this weekend, and the triple crown trial races will go on as scheduled.

Baugh said that the New Mexico-bred Horse Sale scheduled for August 9-10 with the All American Futurity, Derby and Oaks trials, and the Ruidoso Downs Select Sale and All American Futurity, Derby, Oaks and Gold Cup scheduled for Labor Day weekend, will also move to Albuquerque. Plans are for the horse sales to be held in Tingley Collusium.

“We understand the tremendous economic impact of moving the remander of the racing season will have on the Ruidoso community,” Baugh said. “We are left with little choice based on the current condition of our track, bridges and barn area. We have suffered a setback but are determined to build back Ruidoso Downs and make it a beautiful facility and return racing here in 2025.”
