Esther Maria Iglesias' Obituary
Esther Maria Iglesias, age 80, passed away on Wednesday, February 8 at home surrounded by her family. She was a very strong, determined woman. She left her birth country and traveled to the United States in 1967 with her daughter and elderly mother, later to be joined by her husband.

She worked as a translator in court rooms and in the later years worked in banking.
She and her family lived in New York and Pennsylvania and in 1986 their dream of moving to Florida was achieved, they loved the sunshine and warmth.
