19 de Abril de 1933 - 21 de Octubre de 2024

Querida madre, abuela, bisabuela, tia, y amiga, Beatriz, falleció el 21 de Octubre del 2024 en Springfield, Massachusetts. Nacida el 19 de abril del 1933 en Las Lavas, Villa González Santiago, República Dominicana, Beatriz era la menor de siete hermanos y apreciaba sus raíces en su ciudad natal. Ella era la última hija sobreviviente de los siete y la cariñosa tía de los hijos de sus hermanos. Deja atrás a su hermana paterna, Ana Mercedes Lopez, la última hija sobreviviente de su padre.

Beatriz crió cuatro hijos, Maricela, María Luisa, Theresa y Víctor Hugo, con amor y devoción. Cuando se mudó a Nueva York, su familia creció, convirtiéndose en un círculo grande y muy unido que valoraba por encima de todo. Su corazón se llenaba de orgullo ante cada evento familiar, siempre presente para apoyar con una brillante sonrisa y lágrimas de alegría. Su familia fue verdaderamente su mayor logro, de la cual estaba muy orgullosa.

Beatriz tenía muchas pasiones, desde la jardinería, donde encontraba paz entre sus plantas, cocinando, llenando su hogar de deliciosas aromas y reunir a sus seres queridos alrededor de la mesa. Le encantaba el café, la música y las telenovelas que le recordaba de su patria.

Quienes conocieron a Beatriz recordarán su compasión. Su perseverancia y devoción a la familia. Ella vivirá en los corazones de aquellos a quienes deja atrás.

Extrañaremos profundamente a Beatriz, pero nunca olvidaremos su espíritu y el amor que brindó tan generosamente.
