Survived by her three children: Isaac Rapoport, Louie (Cindy) Rapoport, and Cila (Nick) LaGrasta.

Grandchildren Cila Maria LaGrasta, Cristina (Danielle) Applegate, and Nico (Brittany) LaGrasta, Alexandra and Cassandra Rapoport, and Crystal (Brendan) Cooley-Tompkins. Great grandchildren: Mason Cooley, Izzy and Ellie LaGrasta and Eisla Applegate. Sister Connie (Roberto) Rodriguez, sister-in-law Myriam Polanco, brother-in-law Julio Serrano.

Nephews and nieces: Rebeca (Len) Zaiser, Raquel (Rod) Rinaldi, Robert (Alejandra) Rodriguez, Alberto Polanco, Peter (Andrea) Polanco, Billy (Janine) Polanco. Many great nephews and nieces, loving family, and friends (Alvaro Gutierrez, Elizabeth Martinez, Diane Doherty, Rosa Rodriguez, and Esperanza Cabrera Soriero).

She emigrated to NY from Cuba in 1956, in 1979 moved to Naples, FL and owned Vanderbilt Beach Supermarket in Naples Park with her husband Izzy, until it closed in 2004.

She will forever be remembered for being the life of the party, Cuban dancing skills, and her quick wit and humor.

Her children and grandchildren will most certainly miss the best Flan and Arroz Imperial!

A special thanks to her doctors, Dr. Anthony D’Agostino and staff, Dr. Yin, and Dr. Gamouras.
