Antonia “Toñita” Vega Padilla (Antonia Camacho), age 87, was born in 1933 at Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, where she lived most of her life until the age of 81. While working at a factory, she met the love of her life, the man who later she married in 1956, and together they had 5 children, 18 grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren.
Antonia and her husband were the owners of a prominent meat market, where they served devoutly the entire community of her hometown Vega Baja and adjacent towns for more than 50 years.
She was a virtuous woman, she signified the word LOVE throughout her actions. She was kind, caring, lovely, compassionate, generous, beautiful, wise, hardworking and patient. She was one of a kind! Antonia was a woman of faith, and she loved God with all her heart. Her life was a real testimony of how God takes care of his children. She was a blessing!
On January 3, 2021, through her faith, she was able to see her Heavenly Father. Today, she is reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, lovely daughter and many family members.
