In Loving Memory of Blanca Ximena Posada

Sunrise: July 2, 1981 – Sunset: July 27, 2025

Blanca was a devoted wife, loving mother, faithful daughter, proud sister, and the quiet strength behind every room she entered. She was married to her beloved Ismael on July 15, 2011, and together they raised two beautiful children, Daniel and Elizabeth-centering everything they did around family, faith, and love.

Born on July 2, 1981, Blanca was raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, where she grew up in a loving household as the daughter of Hernán Farías and the late Celinda Castro-Chilean immigrants who instilled in her the values of faith, family, and resilience. She graduated from John F. Kennedy High School and went on to attend college locally, staying rooted in the community she called home and devoted to the people she loved most.

She worked for most of her adult life at Fitzgerald Auto Mall, where she began as a switchboard operator and rose to become the Special Assistant to the CEO. But her true title was mentor. She guided and inspired countless students through her involvement with Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School's work-study program. In 2023, she was honored as Supervisor of the Year-a reflection of the legacy she built, student by student, life by life.

Blanca carried God in everything she did. Her faith was woven into every moment-gracefully, without ego. She was a member of Saint Patrick Catholic Church, where her children were confirmed, and where she and Ismael later exchanged vows. She trusted His path completely, even when that path became unimaginably hard.

In January 2025, Blanca underwent a heart and liver transplant. Though the road to recovery was filled with ups and downs, she faced it with her usual courage and quiet grace. In her final days, she battled a serious complication from the transplant. On Sunday, July 27th at 4:40 AM, she passed peacefully with Ismael by her side, holding her hands. She left this world surrounded by love.

She made every space feel safe. She listened deeply. She made room for others. She left every place better than she found it.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to support Daniel and Elizabeth through a donation fund established in Blanca's memory. Your generosity will help continue her legacy of love, education, and care.

Blanca is held in the hearts of her husband Ismael, her children Daniel and Elizabeth, her father Hernán Farías, her grandmother Maggie, her siblings, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and the many friends and extended family who loved her dearly. She is now reunited in eternal peace with her mother Celinda, grandmother Blanca, both grandfathers Hernan and Juan, and her beloved Tia Maggie and Tio Pedro.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

-2 Timothy 4:7

En Memoria de Blanca Ximena Posada

Nació: 2 de julio de 1981 – Falleció: 27 de julio de 2025

Blanca fue una esposa dedicada, madre amorosa, hija fiel, hermana orgullosa y la fuerza tranquila detrás de cada espacio que tocaba. Estuvo casada con su amado Ismael desde el 15 de julio de 2011, y juntos criaron a dos hermosos hijos, Daniel y Elizabeth-poniendo siempre a la familia, la fe y el amor en el centro de todo.

Nacida el 2 de julio de 1981, Blanca creció en Silver Spring, Maryland, en un hogar lleno de amor como hija de Hernán Farías y la fallecida Celinda Castro-inmigrantes chilenos que le inculcaron los valores de la fe, la familia y la resiliencia. Se graduó de la escuela secundaria John F. Kennedy y asistió a la universidad localmente, permaneciendo profundamente arraigada a su comunidad y entregada a los que más amaba.

Trabajó la mayor parte de su vida adulta en Fitzgerald Auto Mall, donde comenzó como recepcionista y llegó a convertirse en Asistente Especial del CEO. Pero su verdadero título era mentora. A través del programa de trabajo y estudio del colegio Don Bosco Cristo Rey, orientó e inspiró a innumerables estudiantes. En 2023, fue reconocida como Supervisora del Año-un reflejo del legado que construyó, vida por vida.

Blanca llevaba a Dios en todo lo que hacía. Su fe estaba presente en cada momento-con gracia y sin ego. Fue miembro de la Iglesia Católica San Patricio, donde sus hijos fueron confirmados, y donde ella e Ismael más tarde intercambiaron votos. Confiaba plenamente en el camino de Dios, incluso cuando ese camino se volvía increíblemente difícil.

En enero de 2025, Blanca recibió un trasplante de corazón e hígado. Aunque el proceso de recuperación fue largo y desafiante, lo enfrentó con su acostumbrada valentía y calma. En sus últimos días, luchó contra una complicación grave relacionada con el trasplante. El domingo 27 de julio a las 4:40 AM, partió en paz, con Ismael a su lado, tomándola de las manos. Se fue de este mundo rodeada de amor.

Hacía que cada espacio se sintiera seguro. Escuchaba con profundidad. Hacía espacio para los demás. Dejaba todo mejor de lo que lo encontró.

En lugar de flores, la familia invita a apoyar a Daniel y Elizabeth a través de un fondo de donaciones establecido en memoria de Blanca. Su generosidad ayudará a continuar con su legado de amor, educación y cuidado.

Blanca permanece viva en el corazón de su esposo Ismael, sus hijos Daniel y Elizabeth, su padre Hernán Farías, su abuela Mamita Maggie, sus hermanos, sobrinos primos, tías, tíos y los muchos amigos y familiares que la amaban profundamente. Ahora está reunida en paz eterna con su madre, Celinda Castro; su abuela, Mamita Blanca; sus abuelos Hernán y Juan, y sus queridos Tía Maggie y Tio Pedro.

"He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, he guardado la fe."

-2 Timoteo 4:7
