Obituary published on Legacy.com by Charles Coelho Funeral Home - Central Falls on Feb. 17, 2026.
Jeronimo Monroy 93 of Central Falls passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on February 14, 2026. He was the husband of the late Cristina Monroy Arreces, with whom he shared over 50 years of love and loyalty.

Jeronimo was born in Villa Nueva, Guatemala on September 30, 1932, son of the late Casimira Monroy. He endured a hard childhood and tough upbringing, which sharpened his work ethic and strengthened his resolve. Mr. Monroy worked from an earlier age, forging himself into a successful baker and businessman. Jeronimo owned and operated his own bakery in Guatemala, until his immigration to the United States in 1989.

Upon his arrival in the United States, Jeronimo settled in Central Falls and worked in a jewelry factory until his retirement at the age of 76.

A gentleman with a kind heart, Mr. Monroy often baked for the members of his church. He was a great and committed father. Jeronimo enjoyed life, was down to earth and never worried about anything. The world has lost a great man but, heaven has gained a gentle angel.

Jeronimo Montroy was the father of Aura Monroy, Mangda Sagastume and Arnoldo Monroy. He was a proud grandfather of 11 and a great grandfather of 5. Mr. Monroy was the brother of 10 siblings.

Visiting Hours to which relatives and friends are cordially invited to attend will be held on Saturday February 21st from 8-11am in the Charles Coelho Funeral Home 151 Cross St. Central Falls, RI. A funeral service will be celebrated at 11am in the funeral home. Burial will follow in Walnut Hill Cemetery 200 Armistice Blvd. in Pawtucket.

Jerónimo nació en Villa Nueva, Guatemala, el 30 de septiembre de 1932, hijo del fallecido Casimira Monroy.

Al llegar a Estados Unidos, Jeronimo se estableció en Central Falls y trabajó en una fábrica de joyas hasta su jubilación a los 76 años.

Caballero de buen corazón, el señor Monroy solía cocinar para los miembros de su iglesia. Fue un gran padre comprometido. Jerónimo disfrutaba de la vida, era sencillo y nunca se preocupaba por nada. El mundo ha perdido a un gran hombre, pero el cielo ha ganado un ángel amable.

Jeronimo Montroy fue padre de Aura Monroy, Mangda Sagastume y Arnoldo Monroy. Fue un orgulloso abuelo de 11 hijos y bisabuelo de 5. El señor Monroy era hermano de 10 hermanos.
