Ada V. LLORENS

1932 - 2018

LLORENS, Ada V. Ada V. Llorens, 86, of Weston, FL, wife of the late Fernando N. Llorens, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2018. Born April 7, 1932, in Guaimaro, Cuba, Ada met Fernando, the love of her life, in the sugar cane town of Elia, Cuba, in her early teens. The couple married in September 1949 and had three children. The Llorens family emigrated to the United States from Cuba in 1962, first living in Elizabeth, NJ, and eventually planting roots in the small agricultural town of Belle Glade, FL. An excellent cook who was well known for Cuban specialties such as vaca frita (a crispy shredded beef dish) and sopa de platano (plantain soup), Ada took great pride in caring for her husband and family. Her first grandchild was born in 1979, and over the years Ada became a proud grandmother of six. In 2014, she became a great-grandmother. Her family was truly the light of her life, and she was always happiest when spending time with them. Ada's memory and legacy are carried on by her children Fernando Z. Llorens (Gail) and Beatriz L. Koltis (Peter); grandchildren Jacqueline Nelson (Bryan), Cristina I. Llorens, Joanna Alvarez, Jaimee Alvarez, Julia L. Koltis, and Peter N. Koltis; and great-granddaughter Tessa M. Nelson. In addition to her husband Fernando, Ada was predeceased by her daughter, Miriam L. Alvarez (Jose). A Mass will be celebrated in honor of Ada's life on Saturday, August 25, 2018, at 9:00AM, at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church in Belle Glade, FL. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the TrustBridge Hospice Foundation at (www.tbfdn.org).
