As well as nieces, nephews and 15 grandchildren. Felita was an outgoing person with a happy and striving personality.

She found exhilaration in the Lord. With her family, she lived life to the fullest and made the best of her time and effort despite declining health. Felita always remembered and lived by her late parents' love and teachings. She fought to keep the family in harmony and the teachings of God’s inspired presence. Felita delighted in her grandchildren. Felita enjoyed crocheting, sewing, canning fruit, color by number, watching 3ABN, singing, fishing and most importantly serving our Heavenly Father. Our gratitude goes to the congregation of Waterflow Seventh-Day Adventist Church, the staff of San Juan Regional Medical Center and the love and support from relatives and friends.
