Carmen Lydia De Jesus

She was born to Efrain De Jesus and Audrey Lewis on September 26, 1957 in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. She grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, later moving to back to Arecibo, Puerto Rico at the age of 11. Carmen graduated high school from Doctora Maria Cadilla in 1976. She received her AA in Business Administration in 1980 and received her BA in Business Administration from University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo in 1983. She married Jorge Aguila in 1979 and had three children, Jorge Robert, Robert and Melanie Ann. She lived in Arecibo, Puerto Rico untill moving to Orlando, Florida in 1999.

Carmen loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious meals and desserts for her family and friends. Family and friends loved gathering around the kitchen table to enjoy Carmen's desserts and her grandchildren loved listening to her stories about her many adventures. She also enjoyed traveling with her family, gardening, and most importantly loving on her grandchildren. She held many titles throughout the years, but her most treasured ones were mom and grandmom. Carmen blessed the lives of everyone who knew her. She loved well and unselfishly, and warmly welcomed everyone into her home. But most of all she loved God and shared her faith with all. She was a humble, faithful child of God, and she left a strong legacy of faith. Her children and grandchildren rise up and call her blessed.

She is preceded in death by her parents Efrain De Jesus and Audrey Lewis, her son Jorge Robert, her nephew Ricardo Jose, and her brother Efrain Jr. She is survived by two children, Robert and Melanie Ann, seven grandchildren Alexzander Antonio, Marc-Antony, Preston Xzavier, Gabriela Victoria, Zion-Li, Olivia Grace and Elena Joy, her sister, Mary Ann, nephews Pedro Jose and Jose Carlos and great nephews Fabian Alexander and Adrian Isaac.

We are confident that Carmen is in the presence of God now because of her faith in Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
