Maria I. Figueroa

April 21, 1934 - February 18, 2019

Maria Ines Figueroa, 84, passed away in St. Augustine, FL on February 18, 2019. Born in Humacao, Puerto Rico to Jacinto Figueroa and Juana Velez. In 2000, Maria Ines “Ana” and her loving husband Jose decided to leave their beloved Puerto Rican home to move to Florida to live close to their children and grandchildren; loving and dedicated mother and wife, sweet and loving grandmother. She dedicated her entire life to serve her family, friends and anyone who needed her. Her faith was her strength; a devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Catechist, Eucharistic Minister and member of the Carmelite Order. In her free time, she enjoyed handicrafts, sewing, reading and traveling. Friendly, cheerful, helpful are some of the adjectives that most identified her. Maria is predeceased by her parents. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Jose J. Guevara, daughters Iris Guevara (Elmer Santiago) and Maria Caraballo (Enrique Caraballo), son Jose E. Guevara (Valerie Guevara), grandchildren: Juan Roberto, Gines, Jean Gabriel, Garrett, Cristina Ines, Jean Carlo, Peter Gabriel, Genieve and Jean Paul, and great-grandchildren: Rayen, Ryley and Raylynn.
