With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Francis Varela, who went home to be with the Lord on January 24, 2026.

Francis was the oldest of 13 siblings, a role she carried with strength, love, and a deep sense of responsibility. She was a devoted mother of four and a proud grandmother of six, and her family was the center of her world. She loved fiercely, gave endlessly, and always put others before herself.

Francis was known for her kind heart, generosity, and unwavering faith. She was truly a woman of God someone who lived her beliefs through compassion, service, and grace. Whether offering a helping hand, a listening ear, or a warm smile, Francis had a way of making people feel seen and loved. To know her was to love her.

Her passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her. This GoFundMe has been created to help support her loved ones during this difficult time, easing the financial burden as they focus on honoring her life and legacy.

Any contribution, prayer, or share is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us celebrate the beautiful life of Francis Varela and for surrounding her family with love and support during their time of grief.
