Aida was a proud Chicago resident for 30years and a business owner. Aida had a passion for travel, she cherished her many years and the many friends she made. She was a devout Catholic and an outstanding member of the community supporting the Lions Club where she loved doing charity work to help the less fortunate. She had a reputation for kindness, consideration and an easy going nature. Her selflessness in unmatched. Her dedication and devotion to her family was never ending and her highest priority.

More than a loving Mom, Lola, Tita, she was the foundation of our family.

We all considered ourselves blessed to be loved by Aida whether you were a member of her family, extended family or one of her many friends. Aida’s passing has left behind many broken hearts but her spirit, her faith and her zest for life will remain with us all forever.

The family would like to offer a special thank you to the staff at Compassion Care Hospice for their many acts of kindness.
