She was preceded in death by her husband Rafael Leiva, Sr.
Loving mother of Mario Pineda (Haydée), Suyapa Inglés, Mary Lou Amador (Roger), Rafael Leiva, Jr. (Meryl) and Martin Pineda; she was also a beloved “Mimi” to her grandchildren and is lovingly remembered by nieces, nephews and by great-grandchildren who miss their “Grandmimi.”
Lucky are the friends and family who passed through her kitchen, as Otilia’s love for cooking was matched only by her strong faith and gift for gab. She took great joy in welcoming visitors, catching up with friends by phone and will be remembered as a loving matriarch.
Special thanks to Mirza Peña for the kindness with which she cared for Otilia.
A private burial was held.
