Ivette was a strong, independent, determined woman who constantly demonstrated love and kindness toward all she came in contact with, but most notably her family. She extended this love to her friends, many of whom she too considered family. She expressed a lot of love through food. Adding her Puerto Rican flare to the dinner table, as well as always trying new recipes for her loved ones to taste. Ivette enjoyed decorating her home for all seasons, especially Christmas. Animals also benefited from Ivette's kind, gentle heart, as she was known to rescue many throughout the years.
Ivette will be remembered as a beautiful soul who opened her heart and home to so many. She will be missed dearly.
