Nayda Oquendo-Cruz Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Nayda Oquendo-Cruz of Paterson, New Jersey, who passed away at the age of 47, on June 3, 2025. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Nayda Oquendo-Cruz to show support.
As we bid Nayda farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Nayda is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She is survived by: her husband Lesmie; her children, Destinee and Leilani; her mother Nayda; and her siblings, Maydee, Alexis and Jennifer.
