Argentina Fernandez

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Argentina (Nina) Fernandez, who passed away peacefully at the age of 93. Born in Camagüey, Cuba, on October 24, 1931, she moved to the United States in 1965, where she made Palm Beach County, Florida, her home.

Argentina was a beloved wife to Eduardo Fernandez (deceased), and a devoted mother to Edith (Ignacio, deceased) Hernandez , Edward (Deborah) Fernandez, and Elizabeth (Anthony) Corsini. She was a cherished grandmother to Melanie, Natalie (deceased), Christopher, Heidi, Edward (Heidi), Isabella, and great-grandmother to Daniel, Harper, Raiden, and Luna. A loving sister to Marlene Diego, America (Alfonso, deceased) Cueto, and the late Mariana (Carlos, deceased) Moya, Argentina will be deeply missed by her extended family and many friends.

Argentina and her husband, Eduardo, lived a full life of travel and adventure, attending parties and celebrations, and creating many cherished memories. Above all, they treasured their time with their children and grandchildren, always making their family a priority.

A lifelong seamstress, Argentina ran her own business, Nina's Dressmaker, for over 25 years, where she worked tirelessly to care for her clients and create beautiful garments. Her passion for helping others extended beyond her craft—she was always ready to offer care and support to her loved ones, often stepping in as a nurse when anyone needed assistance. Her generosity and willingness to help others was a hallmark of her character.

After the passing of her beloved husband, she found comfort and community in the church, joining Primera Iglesia Bautista Hispana, where she found strength in her faith.

Argentina’s legacy is one of love, care, and devotion to her family. She leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory and the impact she made on their lives.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm with burial immediately following at Dorsey-E. Earl Smith Memory Gardens Funeral Home.
