Hilaria
Mencia

En memoria de Hilaria Mencía
14 de Enero de 1925 – 8 de Enero de 2025
Con profunda tristeza anunciamos el fallecimiento de Hilaria Mencia, también conocida como Doña Lala, una querida miembra de la comunidad de Newburgh, quien nos dejó el 8 de enero de 2025, pocos dias antes de su cumpleaño de 100 años.
Hilaria Mencia era más que una residente de Newburgh, era una piedra de la comunidad de Newburgh, y dedicaba innumerables horas a mejorar las vidas de los demás. Ella apoyaba a los recièn llegados de Honduras con un hogar, comida, cuidaba niños, y les daba un hombro para apoyarlos. Ella era una madre para todos. El compromiso inquebrantable de Hilaria con Newburgh siempre seguirá siendo una inspiración.
Nacida el 14 de Enero, de 1925 en Nacaome, Honduras, Hilaria tenía un profundo amor por la cocina y por arreglar a los niños que se portaban mal. Era conocida por su fuerza, devoción, su fe en Dios, bondad, resiliencia y por ser madre y abuela para todos nosotros.
Hilaria le sobreviven su adorada y única hija Lissette Marcia, sus nietas Yadira Pavon y Maryury Pavon, sus vis nietos Emilio Baez, John Anthony Mejia, Joseph Testa Jr, Landon Testa, Shawn Rayford-Pavon, Valentina Testa, Lorenzo Testa y Anthony Pavon-Rabess, quienes llevarán transmitir su legado de compasión y servicio. Fallecido antes fue su padre Nieves Matamoros y su madre Indalecia Marcia.
Se llevará acabo una celebración de la vida de Hilaria el 14 de enero de 2025 (cumpleaños100) de 11am -1pm en Brooks Funeral Home 481 Gidney Ave, Newburgh, NY 12550. Por favor comparta sus lindas memorias de Hilaria. Despues de su celebración, la vamos a enterrar en Calvary Cemetery, 304 Walsh Ave, New Windsor, NY 12553.
Nuestros corazones están pesados pero , nos consuela saber que el legado de Hilaria continuará prosperando en la comunidad de Newburgh que ella tanto amaba.
In Loving Memory of Hilaria Mencia
January 14th 1925– January 8th, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Hilaria Mencia aka Doña Lala, a cherished member of the Newburgh community, who left us on January 8th, 2025, a few days before her 100th birthday.
Hilaria Mencia was more than a resident, she was a cornerstone of the Newburgh community, dedicating countless hours to bettering the lives of others. Whether through providing a home for those that were newcomers to Newburgh, providing food for those in need, a shoulder to lean on, a sitter to multiple children, a mother to us all Hilaria's unwavering commitment to Newburgh will forever remain an inspiration.
Born on January 14th 1925 in Nacaome, Honduras, Hilaria carried a deep love for cooking, and fixing misbehaved kids! She was known for her strength, devotion, kindness, resilience, and for being a mother and grandmother to us all.
Hilaria is survived by her only daughter Lissette Marcia; granddaughters Yadira Pavon and Maryury Pavon; great grandchildren Emilio Baez, John Anthony Mejia, Joseph Testa Jr, Landon Testa, Shawn Rayford-Pavon, Valentina Testa, Lorenzo Testa, and Anthony Pavon-Rabess who will carry forward her legacy of compassion and service. She was predeceased by her father Nieves Matamoros, and mother Indalecia Marcia. We were blessed to have her with us for many years.
A celebration of Hilaria's life will be held on January 14th, 2025 (100th Birthday) 11am- 1pm at Brooks Funeral Home 481 Gidney Ave, Newburgh, NY 12550. Please come ready to share your wonderful memories. We will lay her down to rest immediately after the wake at Calvary Cemetery 304 Walsh Ave, New Windsor, NY 12553.
While our hearts are heavy, we take solace in knowing that Hilaria's legacy will continue to thrive in the Newburgh community she so deeply loved.
