My mother was a loving person. She worked very hard to make sure her daughter became a doctor. She did not leave Cuba until her father had dies because he did not want to leave his country. Came with her mother Andrea Pineda and began a new life in this country. Had to start learning a new language and new profession. She became a cytotechnologist at St Luke hospital in Houston after training in Detroit. She was a PhD in Cuba and had taught sciences at the University there. 
She enjoyed her new found freedom and worked 7 days a week to put her daughter through school. She was a single parent since her divorce when her daughter was 5. She was an exemplary mother and I will always be very proud of her and her acomplishments.  She was very devoted to the rosary and to the catholic church.
May she rest in peace at Gods side for a well deserved rest with the Lord. May God keep my mom at his side and I will miss her forever!

My deepest sympathy to the family!  I met Felicitas many years ago, I visited her at her home & took Holy Communion to her from St. Ignatius of Loyola Church.  She would tell me stories about how she left Cuba & many others.  Last time I  talked to her she had another surgery.  She told me, tengo muchas ganas de verte!  Wish I  had!  Kept thinking of calling after that & didn't.  Her Christmas card was always the first one I received every year, I anxiously awaited her loving words!  I called today!  And phone disconnected or no longer in service.  My heart sank!  She suffered with the Lord!  May she rest with Him!
A loving friend. Mary

It is very hard to write you but I want to let people know a bit of your life on this earth for 101 years. You were born in Placetas, las villas, Cuba and were the 4th child. You never wanted to get dirty and always wanted to look your best. You adored your mother and father and took care of the youngest daughter Isora. 
Attended the University of Habana when your parents move there so all children could study. Finished a PhD in biological sciences. Afterwards taught at schools and universities and did research on cane sugar nematodes. This took you to Puerto Rico under Dr. Steiner for one year. 
        Came to the United States to be with your daughter and became  a cytologist in Detroit. Reunited with your daughter in Houston and retired from St Luke Hospital and took care of your mother until her death. I was able to become a Doctor because of your sacrifice and hard work. As an only cild I had the best mother in the world. 
             We survived together you colon cancer, your aortic valve placement and I was hoping you will survive this latest illness. Me and the doctors were hopeful that you would pull through but it was not to be. My heart aches for you and has this big empty space  that cannot be fill. The final mass was beautiful and the internment was painful. I know you are at peace in the company of your love ones. One day we will be together and rejoice with God. Until then all my thought are with you and so many things unsaid. I love you MOM!

Felicitas Pineda was a beautiful lady.  I am sending my prayers and thoughts to her loving family.  

Mitzi, my prayers and thoughts are with you right now.  I wish I could be there, too.  Love you, Kathy Johnson Young
