Marie Betty Florestal, who sadly passed away on September 18, 2024, was born on November 29, 1971, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. A radiant spirit, she touched the lives of everyone around her. She was the beloved daughter of Augusta Andre and the late Smay Florestal, whom she cherished deeply.
Betty made Miami her home 39 years ago, where she graduated from Miami Central Senior High School and earned an Associate’s Degree in Marketing from Miami Dade College. A devoted mother and grandmother, her love extended beyond her family to all who were fortunate enough to know her. Known for her phenomenal cooking, Betty’s meals were a testament to her love; if she cooked for you, it meant you held a special place in her heart—or that you were simply too late to grab a plate! Throughout her life, she fought her battles with grace, anchored in her faith and surrounded by her loved ones.
A devoted mother, daughter, sister, cousin and friend, Marie will be remembered for her vibrant spirit and unwavering kindness. Marie was a beacon of light in her community, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a warm smile. Her passion for life was evident in everything she did, from her career to her hobbies, and her love for family was unparalleled.
Marie is survived by her loving family and countless friends whose lives she touched with her generosity and compassion. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
A viewing for Marie will be held on Friday, October 4, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM at Eden SDA Church, located at 7777 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33150. A funeral service will follow at 10:00 AM at the same location. A committal service will take place later that day at Caballero Rivero Southern Memorial Park, 15000 W Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida 33181.
In this time of mourning, we celebrate Marie's life and the joy she brought to so many. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
