Maria Teresa Jimenez has transitioned from this world to heaven joining our Lord Jesus Christ on September 5th, 2022 at the age of 92.
Born in Cien Fuegos, Cuba on August 13, 1930. She was willing to leave behind her family and friends due to the communist Cuban regime in 1967, migrating to the United States of America with her late Husband Amadis M Jimenez and four children.
Later, Maria became a resident of Kearny, New Jersey in 1975. Maria loved being an American citizen and she proudly wore the American flag! Maria took pleasure in being part of the community , parades, town picnics, political elections as well as mingling with everyone she met. Dancing was one of her greatest pleasures.
Maria was predeceased by her ten brothers and sisters, parents Pedro and Carmen Ramos, husband Amadis M Jimenez and grandson Thomas R Brady.
Maria is survived by her four children: Michael Jimenez , Barbara Tatz, Roque Jimenez, Mabel Velazquez. Eight grandchildren: Justin Jimenez , Julian Jimenez , Melissa Brady, Joseph Tatz, Erin Tatz, Blake Velazquez, David Velazquez, and Havanna Velazquez. Six great grand children: Taylor Farrell, Jake Farrell, Hailey Volpe , Joseph JR Tatz, Love Velazquez, Mariah Singleton and one on the way .
Our amazing mother Maria T. Jimenez which we know as “MAMI” was a great daughter, sister, wife , friend , grandmother, great grandmother , provider, support system, pillar, and peacemaker. Maria was a powerful woman. She consistently displayed unconditional love throughout the years, and has always managed to do it with a smile. Our fondest memories of “MAMI” were left through her kindness, unifying spirit, and generosity .
We trust and believe she is resting in God’s presence for all of eternity. She is dancing again! Until we meet again may God’s peace remain with us all.
