Gilda Socorro Negrette, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on October 27, 2026. Born on May 5, 1938, in the Dominican Republic, Gilda was the cherished daughter of the late Oscar and Maria Negrette. She was a beacon of warmth and kindness, whose gentle spirit touched all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Gilda's life was a testament to her strong faith and enduring love for her family. She was a peaceful presence, always ready to lend a helping hand or a kind word. Her big heart was matched by her unwavering belief in the goodness of people and the power of prayer.

A woman of varied interests, Gilda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved reading and spent many contented hours absorbed in books, often paired with her love for word and number puzzles. Her curiosity and love for learning were evident in her passion for traveling, exploring new places, and savoring the diverse cultures the world has to offer. Gilda was also a gifted cook, delighting family and friends with her culinary creations, which were as nourishing as they were delicious.

Gilda's legacy is carried on by her devoted family: her son, Oscar Nunez, and his wife, Luisa, who brought her immense joy and pride. She was the adored grandmother of Oscar Jr., Annie, Nathalie, and Ivan Jr., and the great-grandmother of Nicholas, Sophia, Vicky, Greyson, Jeremy, Andrew, Johnathan, and Vladimir. Her family was the heart of her world, and she cherished every moment spent in their company.
