I have very fond memories of spending summers with my Aunt Dora and her daughters. I can vividly remember sitting in the kitchen listening to my mother, grandmother (Paula Calero), and Aunt Dora catch up on what had been going on in their lives at that time and swimming in the pool. I admired the softness in her voice and her poise. My sincerest condolences to my cousin. I cannot imagine the pain you all are enduring at this time. I pray for God to give y’all strength. Rest in Peace, Aunt Dora. You will be dearly missed. Amber Quiñones Pro & Family

Our sincerest condolences to the Benavidez and Jaime Families. You were blessed with a wonderful, compassionate, beautiful, and caring mother. I will always remember my cousin as a SURVIVOR and a classy lady with her elegant hats. Dora always carried herself with poise, grace and elegance. I witnessed her beautiful relationships and love for her loving daughters. They were her pride and joy and nothing was more sacred to her. She left them her legacy of love and kindness. I will miss our weekly texts and embrace all the wonderful memories, laughter, her sweet smile, and that calmness and patience that were her trademarks. God welcomed Dora into his loving arms and kingdom and said, “ Good job, my angel.” I wish y’all peace and comfort at this difficult time. All our love, Esther Quinones and Family

My Deepest and Sincerest Condolences to the family. I had just met Dora on April 3, 2024. She complimented me on my hat that I was wearing that day at our lunch bunch gathering. We enjoyed our meal and had pleasant conversations. We continued on our lunch dates 3 more times. The last one I attended was at Cheddar's on May 15th. We all talked and complimented our waiter Jeremiah for his service, we were 8 that day! and asked him about the Jeremiah was a Bullfrog Song. He laughed and so did we! In all, I enjoyed 4 lunch meetings with Dora. May she Rest in Heavenly Peace! 😇💗 Lovely lady!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
