Mrs. Natividad, 69, died November 22, 2020 at Lovelace Regional Hospital in Roswell, N.M. with her daughters by her side.

Because of the currrent circumstances in our state, a memorial service has not taken place. Erma's wishes have been carried out and Cremation has taken place under the direction of Terpening & Son Mortuary. The family will hold a memorial service at a later date when state regulations have been lifted and family and friends of Erma can attend.

Erma was born June 21, 1951 in Loving N.M., the daughter of Jose Molina and Feliciana (Saucedo) Moreno.

She was married for 46 years to her husband Cruz Natividad in Artesia. Together they had three children. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She worked in retail and cleaning services and she loved to shop and visit with family and friends. She also loved ceramics and many family and friends still have pieces she made for them. An illness left her with limited capabilities but she still loved to shop (purses and watches were her favorite) and hang out with family and watching her favorite movies on Hallmark and Lifetime.

She is preceded in death by her father, mother and a brother.

Survivors include her husband, Cruz Natividad of Artesia. Son, Michael Natividad of Artesia, daughters Marivel Casares and husband Oscar of Hagerman, Corina Chavez and husband Patrick of Artesia. 3 grandchildren, Julio, Emiliano and Mauricio.

The family would like to give special thanks to all the nurses and staff at Artesia Healthcare and Rehabilitation, they took special care of our mom and they all loved her dearly.
