We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of our beloved Yolanda Velarde Torres. ️

Mother, grandmother, sister, and tia, Yolanda was loved by so many, in so many different ways.️

She was a force of nature- sassy, funny, and a deeply loving soul.

To know her was to be on the receiving end of her laughter, her sarcasm, spunk & jokes, and her endless supply of love and support. She was simply full of life, always finding a way to make any moment brighter. During this time of grief, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and offers of support from everyone who knew and cherished Yolanda.

While the greatest gift we can receive is your memories and love for her, if you’d like to donate as a personal way to express your affection, your contribution is accepted and appreciated.

Her devoted husband Tito and children Tirio, Fonz and Tutu want to thank you all for any contribution, which will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses.

Thank you.
