It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Guadalupe Candelaria, beloved mother, sister, and friend. Guadalupe passed away peacefully in her home on August 1, 2025, at the age of 72.

Born in Puerto Rico, Guadalupe brought warmth, creativity, and a strong sense of family wherever she went. She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Celeste Cardona and Melinda Coko, and three grandchildren, along with many brothers and sisters who will forever cherish her memory.

Guadalupe had a passion for the simple joys in life—sewing, crocheting, and shopping were among her favorite pastimes. Her hands were always busy creating something beautiful, and her generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

At this time, there will be no memorial service, but her family asks that those who wish to honor her memory do so by remembering the joy she brought into their lives and the love she gave so freely.

May she rest in peace.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
