Luz Marina, age 61 of Wayne, NJ passed away Saturday, November 30th after a long battle with cancer.
Luz Marina met her life partner, Ruben Dario at the age of 15. She had her first-born son, Juan at the age of 22.
She migrated from Medellin, Colombia with her son in 1987. Her dream was to build a future here for her family. Shortly after, her life partner also migrated and they settled in Union City, NJ where they lived for many years.
In 1989 Luz Marina gave birth to her daughter Catherine. Together, the family worked tirelessly to have a better future. The family later moved to Wayne, NJ where they finally felt at home.
Luz Marina loved her grandchildren and lived for her children. They meant the world to her. They brought her so much joy in her hardest moments. No matter how she was feeling, when they came to visit her, she had life in her eyes again. She was the strongest person we have ever known. She loved her family and was the glue that kept them all together.
She was a kind soul, a silent giver, and a devoted sister. Her faith was unwavering until the very end. She loved God and turned to prayer to help her through her hardest moments.
She was blessed to be comforted and accompanied by all the people she loved before her soul departed.
We will remember her as she always was: a fierce woman, a loving mother and grandmother, and a loyal partner.
We would like to thank all of our friends and family for your prayers and support during this difficult time.

No importaba cómo se sintiera, cuando venian a visitarla, volvia a tener vida en sus ojos. Era la persona más fuerte que hemos conocido. Amaba a su familia y siempre la mantuvo unida.
Era un alma bondadosa, una persona que siempre daba en silencio, y una hermana devota. Su fe fue inquebrantable hasta el final. Amaba a Dios y recurrió a la oración para ayudarla en sus momentos más difíciles.
