El extraordinario viaje de Concha por la vida estuvo marcado por la gracia, la bondad y la devoción inquebrantable a su familia y amigos.

Su unión fue bendecida con un hijo, Joseph Fernández.

Se establecieron en Nueva York, donde construyeron una vida llena de amor, resistencia y determinación. En 1985, abrieron un nuevo capítulo en Coral Gables, donde continuaron cultivando sus preciados lazos familiares y cultivando amistades para toda la vida.

El espíritu de Concha sigue vivo a través de su devoto hijo, Joseph Fernández, y su esposo, Anthony Stewart, quienes la apreciaban sin medida. También le sobreviven su querida sobrina, Lourdes Ciarlo y su familia; sus sobrinos Juan Carlos García y su esposa Sara García y su familia y Roberto García y su esposa Fátima García y su familia; y su dedicada cuidadora durante muchos años, Roxana Rodríguez. Deja atrás innumerables amigos y personas cuyas vidas fueron tocadas por su calidez y compasión.

El legado de Concepción es de amor, generosidad y bondad inquebrantable. Su presencia iluminó las vidas de todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerla.
