In Loving Memory of Gladys Victoria Baez
December 24, 1932 – October 10, 2025
With great love and celebration of a life well lived, we announce the passing of Gladys Victoria Baez, who departed this world on October 10, 2025, at the age of 92. Born on December 24, 1932, in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Gladys lived a rich and meaningful life, touching countless hearts with her warmth, strength, and unwavering devotion to her family and faith.
Gladys was known for her vibrant spirit and boundless love for those around her. In 1967, she married the love of her life, and together they built a joyful home in New York City. Though her beloved husband preceded her in death in 2001, their legacy lives on through the family they raised together.
She is lovingly survived by her children: Mildred Acosta, Stardust Mazzariello, Steve Aviles, and Darlene Turcios. Gladys was a proud grandmother of eight and a cherished great-grandmother of ten. Her family was the center of her world, and each generation brought her immense pride and joy.
A woman of many passions, Gladys found deep joy in music, cooking, and her unwavering faith. Her love for the church and her community was a cornerstone of her life-she could often be found singing hymns, offering kind words, or sharing meals with loved ones. She truly embodied the words: "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Gladys was preceded in death by her parents, Jose Echandy and Agripina Echandy, her sons, David Baez and Michael Baez Jr., her husband, Miguel Baez, and her five siblings, Hilda, William, Carmen, Haydee, Dolores, and Ana -all of whom she held close in her heart.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Gladys's life on Sunday, October 19, 2025 in the Peachtree Corners Chapel of Crowell Brothers Funeral Homes & Crematory. Visitation will begin at 11:00 am, followed by a Funeral Service at 12:00 pm. Burial will take place at Peachtree Memorial Park.
As we honor her remarkable legacy of love, kindness, and resilience, we carry with us the beautiful memories she gave us. Gladys will be dearly missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
