Lilia C Andres, age 92, of Wayne NJ passed away on November 20th, 2023.
Lilia was born to Manuel P. Dopazo and Carmen Sabas in Entre Rios, Argentina. Her mother passed away from Pneumonia when she was just 10 months old. Her father then married Sara Petrona Izaguirrez. Her sister Sara Ines Dopazo was born of this marriage.
Lilia grew up in Entre Rios and went to school in Concordia. She went on to become a teacher. She moved to Cordoba where she met Carlos Andres. They married and had two daughters, Silvia and Maria Alejandra. In 1963 they emigrated to the United States. In the US “Lila” worked as a teacher and graduated from St. John’s University with a Master’s Degree in Spanish Literature. Later on, she worked with Carlos in their jewelry store “Andres Jewelers” in Paterson and then moved the store to Pompton Plains. Silvia married Mario H Gonzalez and Alejandra married Robert Wuss. Silvia and Mario gave them 4 grandchildren: Mario, Gabriela, Gaston and Alejandro. Maria and Robert had 3 children, Robert, Gregory and Matthew. Maria died of cancer and Robert married Denise and had 2 daughters, Danielle and Nicole. “Lila” had 4 great grandchildren August, Jasper, Carla and Nuno.
“Lila” enjoyed reading, gardening and dancing. She loved playing with her grandchildren. She was a very elegant, fashionable woman. She loved to entertain. Her table settings had to be perfect and Mario and Robert enjoyed teasing her by removing food from her presentations before dinner was started! They also loved annoying her and even after she started losing her memory she would respond with a quick comeback. That playfulness remained well into her last days. She was feisty but just as loving. She will be missed by all that knew her.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to St Jude Children's Research Hospital would be greatly appreciated.
