Zoila Broadwater Obituary

Zoila Delfina "Fina" Broadwater, 81, of La Plata, Maryland, passed away on June 24, 2025, peacefully in her home.

Born July 19, 1943, in Huancayo, Peru. Fina brought joy, creativity, and warmth to everyone who knew her. She volunteered at Archbishop Neale School and Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where her generous spirit touched many lives.

Fina retired from the former Charles County Nursing Home, where she served faithfully as a Certified Medical Assistant. She remained active in her community-cultivating her beautiful garden, lovingly tending to her plants, and creating stained glass pieces and handmade crafts for local craft fairs and farmers markets.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Owen W. Broadwater; children Joan Peacock (Clarke), Delfina "DD" St. Clair, and Jose "Pepe" Broadwater (Arlene). Fina was a proud and cherished grandmother to Miranda Morris (Isaac), Sean St. Clair, Clarke Peacock, IV, and Sofia St. Clair as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jose and Placida Gonzalez, siblings Rosa Pridmore, Abelardo Gonzalez and Lucho Gonzalez, and her dear son-in-law Preston St. Clair.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of the Chesapeake.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, July 21 at 5:30 p.m. at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Chapel Point, Port Tobacco, Maryland, followed by a repast in the Church Hall.
