IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Juanita Eusebia
Chepillo
September 22, 1932 – May 8, 2025
Juanita Eusebia Chepillo, beloved mother, grandmother, and cherished matriarch, passed away on May 8, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in the beautiful town of Vicuña, Chile, Juanita's life was a testament to love, resilience, and selflessness.
A passionate and talented baker, Juanita owned and operated her own bakery for many years, delighting her community with her unmatched empanadas and homemade cakes. Her sweet tooth was well-known, especially her love for gummy bears and strawberry ice cream.
Beyond her culinary talents, Juanita found joy in life's simple pleasures. She was a skilled crocheter, creating beautiful handmade pieces, and took great pride in her vibrant garden, which flourished under her meticulous care. Her home was a sanctuary filled with warmth, the comforting aroma of baked goods, and the sound of her contagious laughter.
In a profound act of love and dedication, Juanita made the life-changing decision to sell her bakery and home in Chile to join her daughter in the United States. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to helping raise her grandchildren, providing them with unwavering love, guidance, and support. As a mother figure and guiding light, Juanita played a pivotal role in their upbringing, instilling in them values of patience, resilience, and unconditional love. Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched and the love she so generously shared.
Juanita is survived by her devoted daughter, her son, three beloved grandchildren in Florida, four grandchildren in New York, as well as great-grandchildren who will continue to honor her memory and the profound impact she had on their lives.
A memorial service to celebrate Juanita's life will be held on Friday, May 23, 2025, in Coral Springs, Florida. In accordance with her wishes, the celebration will be filled with bright colors, reflecting the joy, light, and love with which she lived her life.
In lieu of flowers, the family has organized a fundraiser to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. Donations can be made through the GoFundMe page titled "Heart Full of Flowers – Kitchen Full of Love: Juanita Chepillo" ( gofundme.com ).
Juanita Eusebia Chepillo, amada madre, abuela y pilar de su familia, falleció el 8 de mayo de 2025, rodeada del amor de sus seres queridos. Nacida en la hermosa ciudad de Vicuña, Chile, la vida de Juanita fue un testimonio de amor, resiliencia y entrega incondicional.
Apasionada y talentosa pastelera, Juanita dirigió su propia pastelería durante muchos años, deleitando a su comunidad con sus incomparables empanadas y pasteles caseros. Su gusto por lo dulce era bien conocido, especialmente su amor por las gomitas y el helado de fresa.
Más allá de sus habilidades culinarias, Juanita encontraba alegría en los placeres simples de la vida. Era una hábil tejedora, creando hermosas piezas a mano, y cuidaba con esmero su vibrante jardín, que florecía bajo su meticuloso cuidado. Su hogar era un santuario lleno de calidez, el reconfortante aroma de productos horneados y el sonido de su contagiosa risa.
En un acto profundo de amor y dedicación, Juanita tomó la decisión de vender su panadería y su hogar en Chile para unirse a su hija en los Estados Unidos. Se entregó por completo a ayudar a criar a sus nietos, brindándoles amor incondicional, orientación y apoyo. Como figura materna y luz guía, Juanita desempeñó un papel fundamental en su crianza, inculcándoles valores de paciencia, resiliencia y amor incondicional. Su legado perdura en las vidas que tocó y en el amor que compartió generosamente.
Juanita deja atrás a su dedicada hija, su hijo, tres queridos nietos en Florida, cuatro nietos en Nueva York, así como bisnietos que continuarán honrando su memoria y el profundo impacto que tuvo en sus vidas.
Una misa en memoria de Juanita se celebrará el viernes 23 de mayo de 2025 en Coral Springs, Florida. De acuerdo con sus deseos, la celebración estará llena de colores brillantes, reflejando la alegría, la luz y el amor con los que vivió su vida.
En lugar de flores, la familia ha organizado una recaudación de fondos para ayudar a cubrir los gastos del funeral y el memorial. Las donaciones pueden realizarse a través de la página de GoFundMe titulada "Heart Full of Flowers – Kitchen Full of Love: Juanita Chepillo" ( gofundme.com ).
