Obituary For Ercilia V. Collazo

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ercilia V. Collazo, a loving wife, devoted mother, adoring grandmother, and great grandmother. She passed away peacefully at her home on July 18, 2025 at the beautiful age of 90. She was born in Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León where she met and married her beloved Rogelio Collazo on February 20, 1955. They shared over 54 wonderful years of love and devotion to each other and their family.

Ercilia was a soft spoken, graceful, loving, gentle natured yet strong woman whose love knew no boundaries.

She leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love that will be carried forward for generations to come. Although her passing leaves a profound emptiness in our hearts, we find comfort and knowing she is now reunited with her beloved husband, Rogelio. They shared a love that did not fade even with time or distance.

She is survived by her children: Sue, Vince, Gloria, Ron, Elsie, and Rodney. Grandchildren: Danny, Erica, Monica, Jose, Vince, Jacqueline, Brianna, Zachary, Isabella, and Marisa. Great grandchildren: Sandra, Marcos, King, Kelena, Kash, Jordan Noah, Lorenzo, Esmeralda, Lilly, and Daniel Isaiah.
