Modesta Calamba Hurley

Modesta Calamba Hurley of Hobbs, New Mexico, entered her heavenly rest on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Carlsbad, New Mexico after a brief illness. Modesta was one of eleven children born to Roberto Calamba and Victoria delos Reyes. Born February 24, 1952, in Navotas City, Philippines, she immigrated to the United States in the early 1970s.

Modesta married Robert “Bob” Hurley, but the love of her life was her daughter, Arlena Calamba Hermida of Hobbs. Modesta lived with Arlene for the last several years of her life, valuable time that Arlene will cherish. One of her most prized possessions was a Teddy Bear Arlene gave her. She carried it with her to the end. Modesta had a real zest for life. She loved music and dancing, and she lived life to the fullest. The love inside of her shone out through her beautiful eyes and infected everyone she cast her gaze upon.

Modesta leaves behind her daughter, Arlene (Dexter), and grandchildren, Michael Gomes Jr. (Peoria, IL), and Maria Victoria Gomes (Seaside, CA) to treasure her memory. She was proceeded in death by her parents, Roberto and Victoria, and her husband Bob. She will be remembered fondly by so many whom she touched throughout her life. She earned a special place in the hearts of many.
