Obituary of Nelva Ancona Mendez de Paraison

We're heartbroken to share that Nelva Ancona Mendez de Paraison was lovingly called home on August 27, 2023. A cherished wife, mother, and beacon of love and wisdom, she leaves behind her husband Harry; daughters, Pamela and Harnel; son-in-law, Gordon; mother, Esperanza and sister, Teresa. She joins her late father, Sergio, and brother, Jose Luis.

Nelva touched every life she entered with her enduring love and straight-talking wisdom. She will be eternally celebrated and deeply missed.
