Visitation, Service for Lucrecia Aviles

Lucrecia (Lucy) Aviles, a 40-year resident of Ossining, entered into eternal rest on Sunday, September 6, 2015.

Born in Puerto Rico in 1933, she lived there until age 25 when she came to NY. She married Victor M. Aviles in 1958 and they were together 23 years until his passing in 1981.

Lucy is survived by her 7 devoted children and their families: Elba Aviles-Jimenez, Victor Aviles Jr., Yolanda Vazquez, Lisa Aviles, Blanca Aviles-Soler, Robert Aviles, and Jessie Aviles-Rodriguez, their spouses, 19 cherished grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 2 great great grandsons.

She leaves many who mourn her passing, including her loving siblings: Gloria Soto, Teresa Soto, Pablo Soto, Rafael Soto, and Isabel Laboy of Puerto Rico, Adelina Torres of Newark, NJ, and Kero Soto of Pleasantville, as well as countless nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.

Lucy was the matriarch of the family, always hosting family gatherings and keeping in contact with relatives throughout the world. She had a heart of gold and family always came first. She donated a kidney to her beloved baby brother Kero in 1990. That kidney is still going strong 25 years later.

Visitation will be Wednesday 2-4 & 6-9pm at Leach & Thomas, Inc., 32 State Street, Ossining. Mass of Christian Burial is Thursday 10am at St. Ann’s Church, burial at Dale Cemetery.
