Adelaida Ferrer's Obituary
Adelaida Ferrer was one of twelve children born to Rita Blanco and Lucás Fernández in Pinar del Río province, Cuba on November 10, 1926. She was the beloved wife of Ramón Ferrer, cherished mother of Ada Ferrer and Aixa Ferrer, and adoring grandmother to Nailah Summers, Alina van Ryzin, and Lucía van Ryzin. She was preceded in death by her loving son Hipólito Cabrera. Adelaida passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones on August 17, 2020. We will miss her deeply and treasure always the memory of her love and grace.
Adelaida's family dedicates the following prayer in her honor.
Señor, hazme instrumento de tu paz,
Que donde haya odio, siembre yo amor,
Donde haya injuria, perdón,
Donde haya duda, fe,
Donde haya desesperación, esperanza,
Donde haya sombra, luz
Y donde haya tristeza, alegria.
O, Divino Maestro, concédeme
que no busque ser consolado, sino consolar,
que no busque ser comprendido, sino comprender,
que no busque ser amado, sino amar,
Porque dando es como recibo,
Perdonando es como tu me perdonas
Y muriendo en ti nazco para la vida eterna.
A viewing and service in her honor will be held on Friday, August 21 at 5-7pm. To ensure the health and safety of our community, we will be following all guidelines set by local, state, and CDC officials.
