Mirtha R. Madera 

January 15, 1967 – November 26, 2024  

Con profunda tristeza y un inmenso dolor en el corazón, compartimos el fallecimiento de nuestra amada Mirtha Madera, quien partió de este mundo en paz el 26 de noviembre de 2024, a la edad de 57 años. Mirtha fue una esposa amorosa, una madre devota, una abuela muy apreciada, una querida hermana, e irremplazable tía.

Nacida el 15 de enero de 1967 en Santiago, República Dominicana, Mirtha abrazó la vida con una pasión desbordante y una dedicación inquebrantable a su familia y amigos. Mirtha será recordada por su afecto firme, su habilidad para convertir comidas sencillas en festines llenos de amor, su mente creativa y su entusiasmo por los deportes. Los rasgos distintivos de su vida significativa fueron su ética de trabajo determinada como defensora de los niños y las familias en Cardinal McCloskey Community Services Head Start durante más de 25 años, su pasión por el baloncesto, el voleibol, el béisbol y el softbol, junto con su amor inquebrantable por su esposo y sus hijos.

Deja atrás a su esposo, Víctor Emilio Figueroa; a sus tres hijos, Katherine Figueroa, Víctor Figueroa Jr. y Kalvian Figueroa; y a sus preciosos nietos, Aliana Figueroa, Nicholas Santana y Malani Figueroa, quienes fueron su orgullo y alegría. También deja atrás a su única hermana, Sofía Matos, y a sus dos sobrinas, Jasmine Matos y Janese Matos, a quienes crió y amó como su propias hijas.

Las familias Figueroa y Madera extienden su más profundo agradecimiento por el amor, las oraciones y el apoyo recibido durante este difícil momento.  Con Dios, ahora descansas en paz, y en nuestros corazones vivirás para siempre.

Mirtha—nuestra Mami, Mamá—te extrañamos inmensamente. Tu amor y legado continuarán en todas nuestras vidas. Descansa en paz, querida Mirtha. 

With profound sorrow and immense heartache, we share the passing of our beloved Mirtha Madera, who departed this life peacefully on November 26, 2024, at the age of 57. Mirtha was a loving wife, devoted mother, cherished grandmother, beloved sister, and aunt.

Born on January 15, 1967, in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Mirtha embraced life with boundless passion and an unwavering dedication to her family and friends. Mirtha will be remembered for her stern affection, her knack for turning simple meals into feasts of love, her creative mind, and her enthusiasm for sports. The hallmarks of her meaningful life were her determined work ethic as a child and family advocate for Cardinal McCloskey Community Services Head Start for over 25 years, her passion for basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball, along with her steadfast love for her husband and children. 

She leaves behind her husband, Victor Emilio Figueroa; her three children, Katherine Figueroa, Victor Figueroa Jr., and Kalvian Figueroa; and her precious grandchildren, Aliana Figueroa, Nicholas Santana, and Malani Figueroa, who were her pride and joy. She also leaves behind her only sister, Sofia Matos and her two nieces Jasmine Matos and Janese Matos who she raised and loved as her own.  

The Figueroa and Madera families extend their deepest gratitude for the love, prayers, and support received during this difficult time. In God’s care, Mirtha will now rest peacefully, and in our hearts, she will live forever. 

To Mirtha—our Mami, Mamá—you are unfathomably missed. Your love and legacy will live on in us all. Rest in peace, dearest Mirtha.
