Nilda Rosa Fernandez Obituary

We are sad to announce that on February 5, 2021 we had to say goodbye to Nilda Rosa Fernandez (Lorain, Ohio). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Celestino Rivera and Angelita Rivera; her foster father Hector Torres; and her brother-in-law Julio Gomez. She is survived by: her husband Mike Fernandez; her children, Oscar Figueroa Jr. (Monica Diaz) of Lorain, David Figueroa (Tina) of Ellenton, Michael Figueroa of Amherst and Stephanie Branham (Jeremy) of Amherst; her stepchildren, Michael Fernandez (Crystal) of Las Vegas, Nevada and Shelly Fouch of Cape Coral, Florida; her grandchildren, Oriana Figueroa of Oscar Figueroa, III, Alex Figueroa, Audrianna Figueroa, Briana Branham, Noah Branham, Nicolas Branham, Harlee Branham, Zach Fouch, Jesse Fernandez, Brianna Fernandez and Isabella Fernandez; her siblings, H.

She is also survived by nephews and nieces, and foster brothers.

In lieu of flowers, you can make a contribution in Nilda's name to the American Cancer Society or Autism Speaks in Independence, Ohio…or in memory of her loving and generous nature, do something kind, unexpected and unsolicited, for someone who needs it.
