Luz Haydee “Lucy” Quinones, age 71, of Ocala, Florida left for heaven on Saturday, February 16th. Her name translated means “light” and she lived up to that definition by shining in the lives of others.
Lucy was a native of Puerto Rico. In 1956, her family moved to Rochester, NY, where she met her husband, Heriberto. They married on July 3rd, 1965 and had three children. After her husband was permanently injured in a traffic accident, the family moved to Ocala, Florida in 1981. Lucy faithfully cared for her husband for 33 years until his passing in 2010.
Lucy lived a full and active life, much it centered on serving her church. Over the years she enjoyed playing softball and bowling, cake decorating, cooking, crafting, caring for children and clowning. Her greatest passion was her family, especially her grandchildren.
Lucy was preceded in death by her husband, Heriberto Sr. (2010) and a brother, Israel Corujo (1987). She is survived by her three children, Herbie Quinones Jr. (Janet), Michael Quinones (Joy) and Marcy Quinones Sieradzki (Aaron), and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Jimmy Quinones, (Talem, 10 & Tynlee, 2), Kris Quinones, (Jessica – Kade, 6 & Jaida, 4) Olivia Quinones, (Kairo, 3 & Kam, 5 wks) Rein Quinones, CJ Quinones, Jessica Quinones Fordham, (Justin – Grayson, 1) Mikayla Hartley, (Chevy), Alex Quinones, Michael Diette, Noah Sieradzki and Joshua Sieradzki. Her siblings include Petrita Vazquez (Pedro), Radames Corujo (Margarita) Raul Corujo and Jeanette Torres, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
