In Loving Memory of Nelly


With deep love and heavy hearts, we honor the life of Nelly, a devoted mother, cherished grandmother, beloved sister, and a woman whose strength and warmth shaped generations.


Born in Manta, Ecuador, Nelly carried with her the richness of her roots throughout her life. In 1972, she made the courageous journey to the United States, determined to build a better future. With resilience, grace, and unwavering dedication, she created a life grounded in love, sacrifice, and opportunity for her children.


Nelly was the heart of her family. She worked tirelessly, always putting her children first and ensuring they were cared for, supported, and deeply loved. Her strength was quiet but powerful, and her impact will be felt for generations to come.


She is lovingly remembered and survived by her four children: Maria, Javier, Ivan, and David, who carry forward her values, her spirit, and her legacy.


Beyond her role as a mother, Nelly was a wonderful mother in law, grandmother, great grandmother and a caring sister. She found joy in life’s simple, meaningful moments—listening to music, preparing meals filled with love, and gathering with her family. Her home was a place of warmth, comfort, and connection.


Nelly’s life was a testament to love, perseverance, and devotion. Though she is no longer with us, the memories she created and the love she gave so freely will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.


She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.


When someone we love becomes a memory,

the memory becomes a treasure.

Though we cannot see you, we feel you near,

in every moment we hold dear.

Your love still guides us, steady and true,

a light that will never fade from view.
