Obituary
Luz Elenia Santiago Ocasio, age 64, born November 6, 1958, passed away peacefully on February 2, 2023, in Cape Coral, Florida. She was surrounded by her brother, Victor Santiago; her sister, Sonia Santiago; along with her sister-in-law, Nellie Santiago; brother-in-law, Patrick Murnane.
Luz Elenia was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to her late parents, Rafael Santiago and Luz Maria Ocasio.
She was the second oldest of siblings.
She leaves precious memories with everyone she touched with her Angelic innocent love.
Luz Elenia will be missed greatly by her nephews, Victor Jr and Eric; her niece, Serena; in addition to her two great nephews, Isaac and Giovanni.
She was deeply treasured by everyone. She loved family and enjoyed family festivities. She was devoted to our Dear Lord and Blessed Mother. Her passion with food, Diet Pepsi, and Coquito carries so many funny stories. She was definitely the best long lasting card player and ball player there could be. Dancing to and singing her favorite songs, “Tú Estás Aquí”, “Alabaré” among others, were joyful expressions that we all cherished and loved.
Our beloved sister’s ashes will be taken to Ciales, Puerto Rico and be reunited with our parents and our brother, Raffy, all of whom cared for her very much.
To our Angelic sister Luz Elenia:
Our minds will continue to talk with you,
Our hearts will look for you,
Your memories will live forever in our Hearts.
You taught us that there are no disabilities in life and what unconditional love means.
We know you always have had a special place waiting with our Savior. Please give our “bendiciones” to Mamí and Papí, and our dearest brother, Raffy. God bless you. You’ll always be, Our Special Angel!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I wanted to reach out to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your devotion to my sister/Angel has been a daily reminder of love. It’s been so difficult to say the least without Luz Elenia. Having someone like yourself, whom didn’t know her personally, acknowledge her daily, is a pure example of God’s love. You truly are a blessing.
Sonia
If only I could hold you in my arms now. I miss you so much. I think about you every day. I hear your laughter. I can see the expressions in those gorgeous blue eyes as you told me what was going on. I can smell you. Oh my sweet Angel, I love you so much. I know you’re resting in peace for you were born an Angel, lived as an Angel and God welcomed you back to His side as an Angel. I’m so honored to be called your sister. Until God unites us… my heart heart will always say “boom boom “ for you.
