February 23rd, 1937 - May 7th, 2018
Felisa was devoted to her family and church ministry and especially loved singing in the choir. She was always full of joy especially when she was with family, music, and a dance floor. Felisa knew how to live life to the fullest. She had an unbreakable faith, found strength in prayer, and was inspired by the Serenity prayer. She also loved to sing and after a few moments with Felisa, one would find themselves singing along to her favorite songs. Felisa personified feliz which in Spanish means happy.
