Rita Socorro
May 1940 - July 2025
Rita Socorro, 85, passed away peacefully on July 27, 2025, surrounded by the love of her devoted family. Born in Matanzas, Cuba, Rita embarked on a courageous journey to the United States in the 1960s, where she would build a beautiful life filled with love, dedication, and unwavering family devotion.
Rita was united in marriage to the love of her life, Miguel Socorro, with whom she shared 56 wonderful years of partnership, laughter, and deep commitment. Together, they created a warm and loving home that became the foundation for their growing family.
As a mother, Rita was the heart of her household, raising her children with boundless love, wisdom, and strength. She is survived by her beloved husband Miguel; her son Julio Socorro; her daughter Jennifer Acevedo; and her cherished granddaughter Natalia Rhiannon Acevedo, who brought immense joy to her final years.
Rita’s life was a testament to the power of love and family. She embraced every role with grace and dedication - as a wife who stood beside her husband through all of life’s seasons, as a mother who nurtured and guided her children with patient care, and as a grandmother who delighted in watching the next generation grow. Her extended family knew her as a loving sister, daughter, and aunt who always made time for those she held dear.
Her journey from Cuba to America reflected the courage and hope that defined her character. Rita carried with her the rich traditions of her homeland while embracing the opportunities of her new country, creating a bridge between cultures that enriched her family’s heritage.
Rita’s legacy lives on in the values she instilled, the love she shared, and the memories she created with each person whose life she touched. Though her physical presence will be deeply missed, her spirit continues to guide and comfort her family, and her memory will be treasured forever.
She is missed but never forgotten by her family.

Rita Socorro, de 85 años, falleció en paz el 27 de Julio de 2025, rodeada del amor de su devota familia. Nacida en Matanzas, Cuba, Rita emprendió un valiente viaje a los Estados Unidos en la década de 1960, donde construiría una hermosa vida llena de amor, dedicación y devoción inquebrantable hacia su familia.
Rita se unió en matrimonio con el amor de su vida, Miguel Socorro, con quien compartió 56 maravillosos años de compañerismo, risas y compromiso profundo. Juntos, crearon un hogar cálido y amoroso que se convirtió en la base de su creciente familia.
Como madre, Rita fue el corazón de su hogar, criando a sus hijos con amor infinito, sabiduría y fortaleza. Le sobreviven su amado esposo Miguel; su hijo Julio Socorro; su hija Jennifer Acevedo; y su querida nieta Natalia Rhiannon Acevedo, quien trajo inmensa alegría a sus últimos años.
La vida de Rita fue un testimonio del poder del amor y la familia. Abrazó cada papel con gracia y dedicación: como esposa que permaneció al lado de su esposo a través de todas las estaciones de la vida, como madre que nutrió y guió a sus hijos con cuidado paciente, y como abuela que se deleitaba viendo crecer a la siguiente generación. Su familia extendida la conocía como una hermana, hija y tía amorosa que siempre tenía tiempo para aquellos que tenía cerca del corazón.
Su viaje de Cuba a América reflejó el valor y la esperanza que definieron su carácter. Rita llevó consigo las ricas tradiciones de su patria mientras abrazaba las oportunidades de su nuevo país, creando un puente entre culturas que enriqueció el patrimonio de su familia.
El legado de Rita vive en los valores que inculcó, el amor que compartió y los recuerdos que creó con cada persona cuya vida tocó. Aunque su presencia física será profundamente extrañada, su espíritu continúa guiando y consolando a su familia, y su memoria será atesorada para siempre.
Es extrañada pero nunca olvidada por su familia.
