In Loving Memory of Leonor (Mom)
Leonor Reyes, age 91, of Wayne NJ, passed away peacefully on Saturday November 8th, 2025
Born on November 19th 1933 in Girardot Colombia, South America, she was the daughter of Mercedes Rojas and Emilio Rodriguez. The family later moved to Bogota, where mom received her formal education and graduated from a professional secretarial school.
After graduation mom starting working for the Club De Leones (aka Lyons Club) in Bogota, supporting businessmen in the financial industry. It was at that time mom met the love of her life, Hermes, with whom she celebrated 54 years of marriage. They were united in matrimony on December 24th, 1955. Following their wedding, Mom devoted herself to raising their five children: Colombia, Joseph, Angela, Clemencia and Diego.
Despite her full schedule as a mom, she found time to enjoy her favorite hobbies, including knitting, sewing and crocheting while listing to traditional Colombian music.
Courageously, mom and dad made the decision to emigrate to the United States for the betterment of their children. They recognized the opportunities available for those willing to strive for success. THANK YOU, MOM AND DAD, FOR THE SACRIFICE!
Mom is survived by all her children, two daughters-in-law Debbie and Iliana; five grandchildren, Joe, Andrea, Zachary, Matthew, and Elizabeth; one great granddaughter, Stella.
It’s with a heavy heart we celebrate a life well lived.
We fine comfort in knowing that she has reunited with her mom and dad and her husband who we know have welcomed her with open arms!
