Ophelia was my dad's sister. It has been way too long that I had a visit with this wonderful aunt of mine who loved my dad so very much. Ophelia opened her doors to my sisters and brothers for many years when we came to visit from our home in Tacoma, Washington. She cooked delicious frijoles, arroz and tortillas. She loved all 7 of us kids so much but especially our dad, her brother, Raul, who passed away so many years ago at the young age of 58. I am taking privilege in speaking for my sisters (Michaela "Mickey", Elizabeth "Liz" and Cecilia "Cesi")  and my brother Mark, in  saying we loved her for opening her doors to her brother's children. We would spend time with her sister, Lupe, in Del Rey and enjoy homemade ice cream every summer. So, to Armando, I am so happy you had many years with many great memories with this remarkable lady, your mom. Ophelia. With love, your cousin...Carole Velez. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I will always remember going to your house for some menudo and a shot on new year’s she’s going to be missed. Armando you have been blessed with a beautiful family I’ll keep you in my prayers!❤️

Ophelia was an amazing woman who was always full of laughs and jokes, I spent many nights at her house with my cousins as she chased us to put us to bed. She always loved me as her own and never treated me any different! I will miss her toasting to celebrate and always telling me to smile! We love u forever grandma Ophelia! Fly high with the angels! ❤️❤️❤️

Mami, I will forever miss you. The pain in my heart is burning. But I know you were in pain. I will forever love you, miss you and be grateful for everything you did for me, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren! You were my viejita! God bless you Mom's! I'll be seeing you! Cheers! Salud, y para los que mal paguen!


I remember Ofelia when I was very young, just 18 years old. She was so nice to me. She worked at Mexico Cafe, where my then husband was one of the cooks. I spent a lot of time there visiting with her. I'll never forget her kindness. I know she is with our Lord and Savior. 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜🕯🕯🕯
