Our beloved grandmother Francisca Salinas touched the lives of everyone she met with her beautiful smile and warm heart. Born on July 4, 1932, in Puerto Rico, Francisca moved to Manhattan where she lived a remarkable 94 years surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and a large, loving family. She cherished every moment with us, especially during Christmas, her favorite time of year. Her joy and laughter brought our family together and created memories we will always hold close.

In recent years, Francisca bravely battled Alzheimer’s, showing incredible strength and determination to stay with us as long as she could. Even as her health declined, her love for her family never faded. We are grateful for the time we had with her and for the example she set through her courage and resilience.

We are raising funds to help cover the remaining costs for Francisca’s funeral, including flowers and a tombstone, so we can honor her memory in the way she deserves. Our family has come together to support these expenses, and we are almost there. Any support you can offer will help us give Francisca the loving farewell she deserves and celebrate the life of a truly remarkable woman.
