Josefa "Chepita" Fuentes-Aguilar, de 40 años, residente de Bainbridge, falleció el martes 9 de septiembre de 2025.

El funeral se llevará a cabo a las 5:00 h del martes 16 de septiembre de 2025 en la capilla de la Funeraria Bryant, oficiado por el pastor Jesús Bocanegra. El entierro se realizará en México.

La familia recibirá a sus amigos de 6:00 a 7:00 h del lunes 15 de septiembre de 2025 en la Funeraria Bryant. Los visitantes pueden firmar el registro de invitados en línea en www.bryantfuneralga.com. Se pueden hacer donaciones en memoria de Josefa a la Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida (con destino al Fondo para Niños Fuentes- López) a la atención de la Asociación Bautista Bowen, Apartado Postal 551, Bainbridge, GA 39818.

Josefa Fuentes-Aguilar nació el 23 de octubre de 1984 en Tapachula, Chiapas, México, hija de Francisco Fuentes-Rodríguez y Margarita Aguilar-Pérez. "Chepita" era miembro activa de la Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida.

Era una mujer cuyo corazón estaba centrado en su iglesia y su fe, siempre dispuesta a ofrecer una mano, una oración o una palabra amable a quien la necesitara. La mayor alegría de Josefa era ser madre. Atesoraba cada momento con sus hijos: paseando por el vecindario, disfrutando de las comidas en sus restaurantes favoritos y viéndolos jugar en los parques locales. Esos momentos cotidianos se convirtieron en recuerdos preciados, llenos de risas y amor.

Su sonrisa, su calidez y la forma en que se entregaba a su familia y comunidad conmovieron a todos los que tuvieron la bendición de conocerla. Josefa vivió su vida con gracia y una fortaleza serena que seguirá inspirando a quienes la amaron.

Le sobreviven sus hijos, Andry López y Ainara Fuentes; sus hermanos, María Milagros Pérez-López, Adolfo Fuentes, Adriana Fuentes, Fabiola Fuentes y Cinthia Fuentes; sus sobrinas y sobrinos, María, Roni, Nicole, Noel, Jorge, Romina, Ian, Sofia y Arlette; su cuñado, Jorge Altamirano; su cuñada, Sonia Nájera; así como una gran cantidad de familiares. A Josefa le precedieron en la muerte sus padres y su prometido, Rigoberto Israel López-Rodríguez.
