Fidelia

Fuentes

Fidelia "Pucha" Fuentes (nee Armenguer) was born on October 30, 1932 in Puerto Padre, Cuba. She met her beloved husband Pedro Fuentes, was married, and began her family in Marianao, Cuba. Her 3 sons, Raul "Pipo", Juan Carlos, and Nelson were all born in Cuba, and later came their daughter Nancy who was born in NYC, shortly after the family arrived in the USA.

The family grew through the years to include grandchildren Odalis, Claudio, Robert, Dawn, Jessica, Nia, Christopher, Ryan, Denean, Carlos, Alina, and many great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, with one on the way. She was the youngest of 14 children. She has one surviving sister Raquel Amador. She was married for 54 years at the time of Pedro's passing and her son Pipo predeceased her as well.

"Pucha" was an amazing woman who loved to dance and was the life of any party. Her energy and smile were infectious and her wit and sense of humor brightened every room.  She was intelligent, had a keen sense of people, and always spoke her mind. She was unapologetically "Pucha."

Anyone who knew her will certainly have a funny memory or great story to tell about something she said or did, which was always unpredictably witty. She lived a full life and was an incredibly strong woman, both physically and mentally.

She has touched many lives up to her last day, and she will be missed dearly by all that had the honor and privilege to know her.
