With heavy hearts and loving memories, we announce the passing of Eleanor “Ellie” Coonsis, age 72, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, who departed this life on November 6, 2026.

Ellie was born on November 3, 1954, to Alice J. Tsosie and Enos Coonsis. She attended Aztec High School, San Juan College, and Fort Lewis College.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alice J. Tsosie and Enos Coonsis; her partner, Brian Parisien; and her sister, Jessie M. Kemp.

She leaves behind her loving siblings: Joyce Chavez of Farmington, New Mexico; Robert Tsosie of San Diego, California; Lovelace Tsosie of Flagstaff, Arizona; and Lloyd Tsosie of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Though our hearts are saddened by her passing, we find comfort in the memories we hold and the love that remains. While she may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May her spirit find peace, her journey be filled with light, and those she leaves behind find comfort in the love they shared.

Forever loved, forever remembered, and never forgotten. Until we meet again, Ellie, may you rest peacefully.
