Zulma A. (Santana) Power died peacefully in her home on Monday morning, November 16, 2020. She was 100. She is survived by her loving son, Andrew P. Power Jr., her beloved daughter-in-law, Gail L. Power, and her adored grandchildren, Adam, Henry and Samantha. Her husband of more than 50 years and the love of her life, Andrew P. Power, predeceased her in 2012.
Born in San German, Puerto Rico, “Zulmita” grew up in a close family of eight children—older brothers Jose, Pancho and Loren, and younger siblings Fili, Felo, Rosi and Ferdi. They were near and dear to her heart throughout her life. After she married “Andy” in 1960, Zulma came to know and love her seven new brothers and sisters—Jane, Dit, Billy, Posey, Jerry, Jack and Wally—and the matriarch, Grandma Power. Zulma was a great wife and mother and the backbone of her family. She loved to be surrounded with family and friends—Easter in Puerto Rico, Thanksgiving in Lynbrook. And she loved her summers in Saltaire, Fire Island.
She is now where she belongs— in Heaven with her husband, two drinks (scotch on the rocks, a little water), on a sunset deck with the sound of breaking waves in the distance.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Thursday, November 19, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at St. Monica's Church, 413 E 79th Street, New York, NY 10075. Following the funeral service will be a committal service from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM at Calverton National Cemetery, 210 Princeton Boulevard, Calverton, NY 11792.
