On the Celebration of Soul's Day Our Lord Jesus Christ welcomed our beloved mother, Felicita N. Perez, 88, into His house. Awaiting her arrival was our father, Fortino. Felicita N. Perez was born to Ernesta and Felix Navarro on November 23, 1925. She married Fortino J. Perez on March 31, 1946 and had 61 wonderful years together before he passed on December 27, 2007.
Felicita was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and homemaker who devoted her life to her family. In her younger years she enjoyed sewing dresses for weddings, anniversaries and quinceneras. She also enjoyed listening to the Spanish soap operas on the radio.
After the death of her husband she attended the Adult Enrichment Center where she loved to play bingo. She loved ice cream and magazines. We are grateful for the many years of fond memories of our beloved mother before the onset of dementia.
