Ynes Taveras was born on April 20, 1941, in Carrizal, Dominican Republic and emigrated to the United States to join her husband Rafael in 1968. She passed peacefully surrounded by her children, on the morning of August 14, 2025, in her home in Brooklyn, NY.

Through her many adversities, Ynes was always a beacon of light - always putting others first and spreading joy wherever she went. Her kindness and strength will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Ynes is survived by her sons Ralph (Wife: Marisol; Children: Kaila & Karina), Luis (Wife: Marcia; Children: Marleen & Joel), and Orlando (Children: Selene & Jose; and their mother Marisol), her sisters, brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Her children and family are grateful for the love and lessons she shared. She will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
