Luz Maria Velez Lopez's Obituary
Luz Maria Velez Lopez, Age 87, passed away peacefully on December 9th, 2023 at 11:30am in her home due to heart and kidney failure. Luz was born in 1936 in a river in Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico to Julia Lopez and Cecilio Velez. She grew up and lived most of her life in Aguas Buenas but ventured into the states to live in New York and Jersey City for a few years, ultimately returning back to her hometown of Aguas Buenas where she lived until old age. She worked as a seamstress for over 25 years until she retired. She was a faithful member of the Catholic church and never missed a Sunday. She had a love for music and dancing and delicious food, shrimp to be exact. Luz was a marvelously strong, independent, and loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She was always taking care of others to include her parents and siblings until they passed. People would describe her as a God fearing, loving, strong willed, and stubborn at times woman. She always remembered birthdays with a card filled with a gift and heartfelt messages. She was a great provider and loved to serve others. She provided for her daughters and did the best that she could as a single mother. She is survived by her children Gloria Hernandez, Norma Hernandez Velez, Olga Luz Hernandez, the late Elizabeth Santana, Maria De Los Angeles Martinez Velez, 11 grandchildren, and 25 great grandchildren. She left such an impact on anyone she came across and will be truly missed. Please join us in celebrating and remembering her life and add any stories you may want to share on this page.
Her funeral date and address will be added at a later date. In lieu of flowers please send donations to 4Kids Non Profit Organization.https://www.grapevine.org/donate/org/l9S5NLG?interval=once
