Obituary of Ana M Nieves

Please share a memory of Ana to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

On Wednesday, August 14th at 12:15 pm at the age of 84, Ana “Anita” Nieves (née Varona) left this world to be with the Lord. She was surrounded by family who loved her very much. Ana was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

Ana was born to Ramon Varona and Rafaela Cruz Colon on September 10, 1939, in Cataño, Puerto Rico. She was the 7th of 11 children. In 1964 at the age of 25 she set out to New York from Puerto Rico with her two daughters Maria and Marylin in search of a better life… and that she did. She was beloved in her community, always a kind word and a smile. She found employment as a home healthcare provider and provided loving and compassionate care to her patients.

Ana was very crafty, she loved bowling, decorating her home but her favorite thing to do was cook for her family. She loved family get togethers. Her children and grandchildren were her world. She was the glue that kept her family together. Neighbors loved Ana and often came by to shower her with love. She was funny, sarcastic, loving, stubborn and loved sweets, especially ice cream and donuts. Ana loved the Lord and attended Heavenly Vision in the Bronx

Ana was predeceased by her husband Manuel Nieves, son Jose Enrique (aka Kike) and her daughter Marylin. She is survived by her siblings Varo, Rene, Gloria, Ana Gloria, her daughters Maria, Sonia and Miriam (aka Janet), her son Moises, her grandchildren Jorge, Alberto, Omar, Adianez, Christopher, Stephanie, Cathy, Cassandra, Bianca, Jasmin, Joshua and her great grandchildren Deana (20), Briana (19), Joshua (18), Jocelyn (16), Amira (16), Darnell (14), Darien (12), Christian (9), Amora (3) and Atticus (2) and Jem (1)

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Alzheimer’s Association https://www.alz.org/ , an organization that leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
