Celebrating a life so
beautifully lived.
Alma Iris Almodovar-Toro
went to be with the Lord peacefully surrounded by her son and daughter-in-law in
the early morning hours of May 4, 2022, at the age of 92 years young.
She was born on
January 1, 1930, in Sabana Grande, Puerto Rico. The daughter of Melanio
Almodovar and Carmen M. Toro.
She spent all her
childhood growing up and attending school in Puerto Rico and later relocated to
New York city where she worked for many years. She married Jovino Borrero and
had three children Egbert, Elliott, and Harold (Harry). She moved back to
Puerto Rico in 1981 where she worked diligently in improving community services
in the community of Vista Mar. She moved to Orlando, FL in 2001.
She was a homemaker,
very independent and had an amazing eye for home décor. Each Christmas she
would decorate her home with elaborate decorations, trees, and all sorts of Christmas decorations. It was something she enjoyed the most.
It brought her so
much joy when she spoke with her children and grandchildren and when she had family
and friends visit with her. She enjoyed listening to Marc Anthony and praying
every night.
She is survived by
her three children, Egbert, Elliott, Harold and Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren,
Nephew and Nieces
Mom, your death has
impacted me in ways I didn’t expect, but the years we spent together has
impacted the most. Love, your son (Harry)
“Verily I say unto
thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43)
