Rebecca Rovira, 77, of Hartford, passed away in her home on April 6, 2023. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, on April 14, 1945, daughter of late Rebecca biuda de Rovira and Alex Rovira. Prior to her retirement, she was employed at VNA for 21 years and was a devout Christian and devoted member at Templo Fe in Hartford, CT. She took care of her only surviving sister for 10 years.
