Orlando

Carmen M. Diaz, age 82, of Orlando, Florida, passed away at her home on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

She was born on June 18, 1942 in Río Grande, Puerto Rico, to parents Julio Diaz and Generosa Charbonier. Raised a Catholic from birth, she remained a devoted follower of God throughout her entire life.

Carmen was most at home in the kitchen, where she spent much of her time cooking for her loved ones. When she wasn't cooking, she was dancing. She also enjoyed reading, sowing, cleaning, and watching TV. She often "helped" the squads of countless police shows solve their cases.

Her greatest love was her family. She was always excited when they came to visit and cherished every moment spent together.

She is survived by her son, Angel Delgado-Diaz; her daughters, Marilyn Palacios and Lydia I. Crespo; ten grandchildren: Sandra, Ashley, Aris, Daniel, Hamid, Nayeli, Armando, Kendal, Banyier, and Sebastian; and eleven great-grandchildren: Sandra, Immanuel, Angela, Gabrielle, Jade, Emma, Theo, Tahyara, Elijah, Penelope, and Phoenix.

Carmen taught us that life is best lived with faith, family, and love. So in her memory, let us continue to cook, to eat, to laugh, to sing, to pray, to come together, and yes - to dance.

Carmen M. Díaz, de 82 años, de Orlando, Florida, falleció en su hogar el miércoles 30 de octubre de 2024.

Nació el 18 de junio de 1942 en Río Grande, Puerto Rico, hija de Julio Díaz y Generosa Charbonier. Criada como católica desde su nacimiento, se mantuvo como una fiel devota de Dios a lo largo de toda su vida.

Carmen se sentía más a gusto en la cocina, donde pasaba gran parte de su tiempo cocinando para sus seres queridos. Cuando no estaba cocinando, estaba bailando. También disfrutaba leer, coser, limpiar y ver televisión. A menudo "ayudaba" a los equipos de innumerables programas policiales a resolver sus casos.

Su mayor amor fue su familia. Siempre se emocionaba cuando la visitaban y atesoraba cada momento juntos.

Le sobreviven su hijo, Ángel Delgado-Díaz; sus hijas, Marilyn Palacios y Lydia I. Crespo; diez nietos: Sandra, Ashley, Aris, Daniel, Hamid, Nayeli, Armando, Kendal, Banyier y Sebastián; y once bisnietos: Sandra, Immanuel, Ángela, Gabrielle, Jade, Emma, Theo, Tahyara, Elijah, Penélope y Phoenix.

Carmen nos enseñó que la vida se vive mejor con fe, familia y amor. Así que, en su memoria, sigamos cocinando, comiendo, riendo, cantando, orando, reuniéndonos y sí, bailando.
