After a few years, the couple returned to Cochiti for the remainder of their lives. Pablita continued making Cochiti figurine pottery until the 1960s, and she died in 1979. There is a photograph of Pablita Quintana Cooka (1905-1979) and additional biographical information in the book Clay Mirror. She signs with her last name Cooka.
