It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Miss Carmen Maria Navarro, who was born on October 6, 1945, and passed away on February 25, 2025. Carmen was born in Nagabo, Puerto Rico, and throughout her life, she brought warmth and love to all who knew her.
Carmen was a devoted and loving mother to all of her beautiful children, and her kindness and strength will forever be remembered. She had a deep passion for sewing and knitting, and her love for the color red was known by all. In her spare time, she enjoyed playing dominoes and cherished moments spent with her friends and family.
She found great joy in tending to her plants, and her heart was full of love for her grandchildren, whom she adored. Miss Navarro’s presence will be sorely missed, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved and cherished her.
May her family find comfort and healing in this time of mourning, and may Carmen’s spirit continue to guide and surround them with love.

Words can’t describe what I feel. My best of aunt, I loved you yesterday, love you today and will always love you.. Last time I saw you was one of my best moments. You was like my second mother someone I could confide in, someone I trust with my life. Tia I will always remember you and I will always miss you 😢. Your last words were that you loved me and I will never forget that. You are one of my favorite person and I will always remember you.

You were a mother to me, I truly don’t know how I am going to react being told that this will be the last time to hug you & see you. You literally saved me, and I can’t thank you enough for everything you did to me. Rest in paradise my beautiful grandmother your might be gone physically but your memories will live on forever I swear! 🙏💔

I didn’t want this day to come so soon but I’m truly blessed to have had such a strong, loving, and supportive grandma! I lost my mother at such a young age and struggled with it for so long. My grandma showed me through stories and action how much my mom loved me and everyday abuela made sure I knew that she loved me as her own! I will forever be grateful for our talks about God to our talks after she found out I was seeing someone and she wanted me to be happy and treated right! I love you Abuela, thank you for everything! May you rest in paradise with my beautiful mother and Tio Luis!

I heard many stories of how you were and your love. When I first met you I had the opportunity to tell you how much you are loved. How much impact you had on your family. Then you flashed me the warmest smile and gave me your blessing. In that moment I felt connected with you. Your passing is difficult for many because of how far reaching your love has been. It pains me to see everyone mourn but it has brought the family closer. I hope you know how much life you have given even after you have gone.

All I’ve ever known you as and ever will be is Abuela. I don’t know why I couldn’t call you Carmen but Abuela… just felt right.. I know that I’m late and now you’re truly truly gone. I can not find the words to say… you were the first out of all the family that I met. I’ve known you the longest out of everyone else… I can not thank you enough for being an amazing Abuela to my kids including Ayden. I don’t know how to carry this missing piece in my heart but I hope your up there and give much love to Liam for us please. Tell him I miss him too. I love you Abuela, I am going to miss you, miss your wisdom… miss your cooking.. miss your hot sauce… I am so upset we lost the last hot sauce you made for me… I would have cherished it more.. I’m going to miss coming over and you asking if I’m making the chicken soup…I am going to miss you txting me good night and good morning. You are the only person who ever did that… I hope you loved your flowers Abuela.. we made them just for you. I know you are at peace and I will always love you and think of you…❤️❤️🕊️
