Leila S. Benitez, an extraordinary individual who touched the hearts of countless lives, concluded her journey among us on February 28, 2025. She illuminated the world with her presence on November 18, 1974. Leila's life of 50 years was spent weaving a tapestry of beautiful selflessness, infectious laughter, immense heart and a love for everything life had to offer. She climbed the ranks in her career through years of strong work ethic and ultimately became a cherished Area Human Resources Director. Her life and career were marked by compassion, humor, and a fierce dedication to helping others. Leila's life was a testament to her unwavering devotion to her family, friends, and coworkers whom she served, wholeheartedly with both love and joy.
A few of Leila's remaining loved ones are her Fiancé: Sean Holcombe, Sons: Calvin Hernandez and Daniel Rodgers, Daughter: Jazmine Rodgers, Mother: Francisca Portillo, Father: Jose Portillo, Sisters: Ana Benitez, Jenie Iparraguirre, and Frances Portillo and Brother: Jose Portillo.

Dear sweet Leila, I loved working with you for 14 years. You were so gifted and such a hard worker. My Jimmy loved hanging with you when he came to the hotel....lots of fun and laughter. I remember telling your Mother how well she raised you and your sisters . You can now hold Taliah and maybe hang with my Jimmy for a laugh or two!
