January 7th, 1943 - April 17th, 2024
On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, Nereida “Nelly” Aquiar passed away peacefully, at home, at the age of 81. Nelly was born January 7, 1943 in Ponce, Puerto Rico to Carmen Maldonado and Flor Vega. Nelly moved to Brooklyn, New York as a young child. There, she attended school, later married, and started a family. She worked as a customer service specialist for Cascade General Linen Service for over 30 years and was a proud New Yorker, even after relocating to Arizona upon her retirement.
Nelly was a beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She is now reunited in Heaven with her children, George and Dawn. She is survived by her daughter Leslie and leaves a legacy of unconditional love and constant prayer for her grandchildren Christopher, Jennifer, Whitney, Peter, Bianca, Angelica, and Kristina. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
Nelly will also be remembered for her love of flowers and pretty little things, including her toy poodle—and constant companion—Cannoli. She was a massive sports fan, a TV & movie buff, and enjoyed music of all genres. She was a champion at trivia. The Christmas holidays were her favorite time of year.
She will be missed beyond measure.
At Nelly‘s request, there will be no formal service, but the family will gather at a later time to celebrate her life.
