It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Delia Ojeda, who left us on November 24, 2024. Delia was born on November 10, 1931, in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, to Maria Vasquez and Faustino Garcia. At the age of 17, she married Felix Ojeda Falcon on June 19, 1948, and together they had eight children: Victor Ojeda, Luz M. Ojeda, Josefina Ojeda, Haydee Nicot, Norma Ojeda Serrano, Felix Ojeda Jr., Roberto Ojeda, and Elizabeth Pitre.
Delia was a cherished mother and wife, known for her gentle and loving spirit. She prayed for each and every one of her children, grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren individually, instilling in them a deep love of God. Music and dancing were integral parts of her love language, and she was always unselfish, ensuring every visitor had a cup of coffee or a meal. Her affectionate ways endeared her to all she met.
She was blessed with 16 grandchildren: Linette, Valerie, Richie, Victor David, Emily, Anthony, Angelo, Eric, Michelle, Carlos Jr., Jacqueline, Roberto, Brandon, Jessica, Christina, and Christian. She also had 27 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
Delia was deeply involved in the Catholic Church through the Sacred Heart of Mary, wearing her white habit as a symbol of modesty, with a blue cord representing two promises she made to Jesus Christ. Those promises were kept between her and God.
Delia is now resting in peace, reunited with her beloved husband, Felix, and their two sons, Victor and Robert.
Her memory will forever be cherished by her family and all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A mis primos le digo se que duele la partida pero ustedes fueron excelentes hijos siempre estuvieron ahí para ella y eso es hermoso Dios les conceda mucha fortaleza los tengo en mis oraciones
Lefty from the entire Quintana family, we are so sorry. We know your pain all too well. A loss is a blow to the family but with loved ones around you, and your family… you will be ok. She has earned her wings. God Bless Her!
My most sincere condolences to the Ojeda family.
My favorite Titi on my Papi’s side! Her boys, Bobby and Junior (Lefty) were the brothers I didn’t have for 11 yearst until Kiko was born. We’ve lived in the same building for few years! Always close!! For years I remember two things going to their home…Tio Felly would be in his recliner watching Yankees and Titi Delia in the kitchen (like Mami) preparing dinner. Some of the most memorable memories I have growing up! ❤️❤️
Dear Lefty, sisters, and family,
I am deeply saddened to hear about your mother’s passing. Please know that you are all in my thoughts, and I am sending you my love during this challenging time. I truly wish I could be there to embrace you, just as you have done for me.
May Señora Delia rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon her soul forever.
So very sorry for your loss. My condolences to the family.❤️
Lefty, my late brother Robert and I are like brothers. We played football together and worked together. Lefty was there with me everyday in the hospital with Robert until he passed away. That’s brotherly love. My deepest condolences goes out to Lefty and the entire family for the loss of Momma Ojeda. R.I.P. you will be truly missed. Always Richard Burton
