Irene Ruiz

Irene Ruiz died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on December 27, 2021.

Irene was born in Utuado, Puerto Rico to Juan Molina and Trinidad Santiago.  She was one of six children.  Irene created a beautiful life with her husband, Ramon Ruiz, and nine children while living in Puerto Rico.  She later moved to Bristol, Pennsylvania with her family.  Irene had a giving heart and always supported her children and family in every way she could.  She loved caring for her grandchildren and hosting family at her home every Sunday for family dinners.  She had a beautiful spirit and was full of generosity for others.  She brought so much joy to her family and friends and had a smile that would light up a room.

She is predeceased by her parents Juan Molina and Trinidad Santiago, five siblings, husband Ramon Ruiz, and son Ramon Eliezer Ruiz, and is survived by her children: Vivian Idamis Rivera (Jey), Carmen Irene Rodriguez (Carlos), Rafael Arcangel Ruiz, Albilda Berrocal (Luis), Luis Jorge Ruiz (Dee), Dr. Luz Idalia Ruiz, Mirta Celida Ruiz, and Reinaldo Ruiz.  She is also survived by 19 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

While Irene will be dearly missed by her family and loved ones – her family celebrates and honors the beautiful life that she led and the endless love she had for all.  Her life allowed her to be many things to many people: Doña Irene, Mamá, Mami, Abuela, Abuelita, and more.  May her memory and legacy live forever in the hearts of her loved ones and her beautiful spirit rest in peace for all eternity in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
