Our family is raising money to go towards Nydia’s final expenses. My mom was like a second mom to two neighborhoods. She provided counsel, compassion, food, and clothing to countless people. She spent 30 years of her life in service to the public at the NYPD, retiring as an Auxiliary Sergeant. She was a first responder at 9/11 and stayed at ground zero assisting the recovery efforts for months. After the passing of her mother, she began painting as an outlet for her grief. She soon discovered she had a hidden talent for art. Some of her artwork is currently in circulation at the New York Public library. She touched so many lives. While she is no longer here physically, her legacy lives on in everyone who loved her. Please help us give her the home going she so richly deserves.

Should you want to pay your last respects in person, here’s the info for mom’s memorial service…

The repass will be held on January 11, 2025, at 3548 E Tremont Ave (Bronx, NY 10465) from 2pm - 5pm. We will only be serving coffee & pastries. We are asking everyone to bring or buy a dish (it will be a potluck lunch). Due to the family’s dietary restrictions, please do not bring any dishes that contain pork.

We appreciate everyone’s love and support during this incredibly difficult time.
