It is with a heavy heart that I share our Mom, the love of our Dad’s life, passed the evening of Wednesday November 11, 2020, at only 54 years old. After suffering from several heart attacks, a leg amputation and kidney disease, she is no longer in pain. My mom was a devoted catholic, and a beautiful and loving wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, godmother, and friend. She was kind, funny, generous and always a positive person. She was a part of so many special events, not only in our lives, but the lives of others. We know that she will miss her monthly ladies lunch, family trips, and holiday traditions, among many other things.


She worked at Scripps Memorial Hospital for over 20 years and was the primary source of income for our family. We’ve now also lost my father’s income, as he will no longer be able to be her in home support service. As my family supports each other through this difficult time, we need to prepare for what is next. My dad has been left dealing with unplanned and unthinkable financial costs. Our family is internally grateful for any support with our Mom’s funeral costs, medical bills and other expenses associated with her sudden passing.

If it’s easier, or you prefer, you can also make a donation through Venmo or CashApp at Dilaaawn.

Our family wants to say thank you for all the additional support at this time.
