Felicia Marie Pena

Felicia carried herself with quiet courage and a steady devotion to the people she loved. Compassion and generosity guided her in everyday life, and her loyalty and selflessness were felt most by those closest to her. Even in serious moments, Felicia’s sense of humor could bring lightness and comfort, a reminder that warmth and kindness can live side by side with strength.

In high school, Felicia loved ROTC, reflecting an early spirit of discipline and determination—qualities that stayed with her throughout her life and were matched by her hard-working nature and steadfast heart.

For 21 years, Gabriel Macias was her life partner, and her love for her children—Alyssa, Hope, and Amber—was the center of her world. She also cherished her grandpets Sassy, Basil, Prozac, and Bisky. Felicia held a special tenderness for her nephew Bo, a bond that spoke to the depth of her care and the way she made room in her heart for family in all its forms.

Felicia found joy in simple, meaningful comforts: reading books, decorating for all holidays, and settling in with classic television—especially Leave It to Beaver and other beloved shows. In these everyday rituals, her thoughtfulness and gentle spirit shone through, creating a sense of welcome and celebration that others will miss dearly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at American Legion Rivera Post 411, 7642 Serapis Ave, Pico Rivera, CA 90660. Please no outside drinks are allowed as there is an on-site bar.
