She was always happy to teach you everything she knew about any crafting you may be interested in.

A strong and courageous woman, she moved her family with the help of our grandma Conchita, followed by her husband, from Puerto Rico to Florida in the early 70's where her children attended the Seventh Day Adventist schools and enjoyed the family community.

She worked at the Forest Lake Academy laundry, before moving on to the Florida Living Nursing Center and finally was able to enjoy her retirement.

Her ever lasting love and support as a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend will stay in our hearts forever. Sporting a sense of humor until the very end, she laughed at the silly things that affect us all as seniors. Our dearly beloved Mom, we will miss you terribly but know that you are resting peacefully until we see you again in Heaven, we love you.
