Alicia S Englert

Alicia S. Englert, age 94 of Miami, Florida, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 2, 2019. She was born on March 29, 1925, in Palma Soriano, Oriente, Cuba, to Carlota de la Torre Ponte and Jose Leopoldo Morell. She was married to her husband of 68 years, Frank J. Englert, who preceded her in death in 2015.

Alicia attended Academica Dominicas Americanas in Havana, Cuba, and continued her education at La Universidad de la Habana.

On June 7, 1947, Alicia married Frank Englert in Havana and lived in Miramar, Cuba, until 1959, when they relocated to Miami where her husband later retired as a Lt. Colonel from the Air Force.

Alicia was well known for selling real estate all over Miami for many years. She enjoyed meeting people but will most be remembered for her great love for her children.

Alicia had many hidden talents in which she sporadically dabbled such as writing, knitting, and painting. While she was nearly unbeatable at dominoes and Scrabble, she also enjoyed barbecues, music, traveling, reading, the ocean, and just simply spending time with family.

Alicia is survived by her six children, Eileen K. Englert of Miami, Patricia D. Bilbao of Miami, Frank J. Englert (Nancy) of Chicago, IL, Jennifer A. Wulforst (James) of Phoenix, AZ, Theresa J. Ferguson (Frank W.) of The Plains, VA and Leslie E. Roza (Frank) of Miami; as well as ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

A memorial visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 p.m. at Caballero Rivero Funeral Home of Westchester, followed by a funeral mass at Epiphany Catholic Church on Thursday, May 9 at 10:30 a.m. A Christian burial will take place following mass at Our Lady of Mercy Cemetery.

Her family will always carry her memory in their hearts.

“O gentlest heart of Jesus ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant. Be not severe in Thy judgment but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou O merciful Saviour send Thy angels to conduct Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

May the Souls of the all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
