Maria Elisa Corchado's Obituary
Maria Elisa Corchado, 82, died August 31, 2020, in her home from complications related to colon cancer. She died peacefully in her sleep surrounded by her family.
She is survived by her children, Rafael, Nancy, Nelson, William, Elisabeth, Monique, Darline, and Hunter; her grandchildren, Kelly, Lil Nelson, Chris, Brandon, Crystal, Joey, Gian, Elisa, Mikey, Camila; and great-grandchild, Easton Lee, and her daughter and sons-in-law, Mari, Wendy, Bill, Jerry, Jesse and Wilnelia. She was preceded in death by her husband, Florencio Rafael Corchado in 2019. They celebrated 64 years of marriage.
Born in Canovanas, PR on April 28, 1938, she was raised by her mother Ramona Betancourt, and was the youngest of her eight siblings. In 1955 at the age of 18, she married Florencio Rafael Corchado and then moved to New York to raise their family in the Bronx. During those years, they moved to Puerto Rico at various times. Finally, she settled in Apopka, Florida in 1993.
Her path with the Lord began in Florida in the Pentecostal Church of God where the Rev. Pedro Vivaldi pastored. In New York, she attended Segunda Hermosa where the Rev. Mario de Jesus pastored. After her family moved to Apopka, she found her church with Rev. Juan Rodriguez in the Pentecostal Church of God, Apopka.
She lived a rich life full of laughter and endless cruise buffets. Her love not only extended to her family and hobbies, but she also fostered many children and later adopted three.
She was the epitome of unconditional love and grace, and there are no words that can describe how kind, selfless, sassy, and generous she truly was; and as a family, we created a new name that embodies all of her qualities: "Mamita."
Mamita had a remarkable talent in making sure everyone was filled with love and her arroz con gandules.
A God-fearing woman who was wise beyond her age and gave more than she had. She is now at peace with her husband in heaven.
