Eyen Grao

Eyen Grao, 83, dedicated mother and beloved wife, passed away Monday, November 23, 2020.

Eyen was known for her sunny disposition and beautiful spirit. She had a "joie de vivre" that brought a smile to anybody that she came in contact with. She loved to cook and entertain, and her door was always open to receive company of all ages. Eyen was very modern and "hip" and she was the favorite Aunt of all of the young folks!

Eyen doted on her husband and daughter but her passion was her puppies. She made sure that her pets knew that they were cherished, and that in their next life they would want to come back to her. Eyen loved her roses and she was an adept gardener, keeping beautiful gardens, no matter where she lived. She loved the colors of all of the flowers that she grew and that was a reflection of all of the beautiful colors that she radiated throughout her life!

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Ignacio Grao. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Ana Grao, her brother, Raymundo Ortiz, her sister Matilde Nieves, and her parents Adolfo Ortiz and Algemina Cata. Eyen is also survived by her godchildren, Ricardo Perez and Madelyn Velez and all of her many cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, and life long friends!
