Town officials marked the June 2 passing of lifelong Silver City resident Bobbie Neal Little with a moment of silence Tuesday evening during a brief regular meeting of the Silver City Town Council, during which Silver City Emergency Manager Jeff Fell also announced the end of the drive-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Grant County Public Health Office.
“Anyone who may not have known her, she was born [in 1935] in what is now the Silver City Museum, when it was the Silver City Fire Department and her father was the Silver City fire chief at that time,” said District 4 Councilor Guadalupe Cano, who added that Neal Little’s entire life was spent contributing to the community.
