Services for Leila were held on Tuesday March 4th 2025.

Leila S. Benitez, an extraordinary individual who touched the hearts of countless lives, concluded her journey among us on February 28, 2025. She illuminated the world with her presence on November 18, 1974. Leila’s life of 50 years was spent weaving a tapestry of beautiful selflessness, infectious laughter, immense heart and a love for everything life had to offer. She climbed the ranks in her career through years of strong work ethic and ultimately became a cherished Area Human Resources Director. Her life and career were marked by compassion, humor, and a fierce dedication to helping others. Leila’s life was a testament to her unwavering devotion to her family, friends, and coworkers whom she served, wholeheartedly with both love and joy.

A few of Leila’s remaining loved ones are her Fiancé: Sean Holcombe, Sons: Calvin Hernandez and Daniel Rodgers, Daughter: Jazmine Rodgers, Mother: Francisca Portillo, Father: Jose Portillo, Sisters: Ana Benitez, Jenie Iparraguirre, and Frances Portillo and Brother: Jose Portillo.

Leila fought a good fight and faced cancer with bravery, grace and dignity. In lieu of flowers we kindly ask for donations to support Calvin “Jimmy” cover funeral expenses.
