Awilda was born in Manati, PR, on May 22, 1932, to Luis Melendez and Gregoria Lopez. On December 22, 1951, in Ciales, PR, she married the love of her life José Ginés (deceased).
Awilda was known by many names, Guela, Mami, Mita, Bisa, Madrina, and Titi Guelin to name a few. She was a woman dedicated to her family, and it was a very extended family, especially since she never met a stranger she didn't welcome into her heart. Love flowed from her, and her greatest gift was making every person in her life feel that they were not only loved, but also her favorite.
Awilda's legacy is the love she shared with everyone, especially her children: José Luis (Joanne), Milza (Miguel), Anarosa, Luisa (Gene). Her grandchildren: Ginés-Vaiden; Roberto (Ashley) and Enrique. Agramonte-Ginés; Monaliza (Louis), Vanializ, Itiel, Carmiel (Julian), Adriel (Angelie) and Uriel. Ginés-Sepulveda; Tiana, Liana, Leonides and Eselina. Fletcher-Ginés; Adam and Tara. Her great grandchildren: Analise, Liliana, Mia, Dominic, Troy, Sophia, Jaxon, Noah, Lucas, Gabriel and Erys.
Awilda taught us many life lessons, but the one most remembered by all will be how to love unconditionally.
