Carmen Lillana Navarro

Carmen Liliana Navarro was a loving mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, and friend. She touched the lives of every single person she ever met. Her smile would light up an entire room even when it was dull. Raised in Colombia, Carmen completed high school and pursed a career in interior design until her beautiful daughter - Claudia Arias - was born. Carmen raised her daughter with so much strength, passion, and love. She was a single mother and did everything in her power to bring food to the table and keep a roof to live under. Carmen climbed mountains, swam seas, and moved ground to bring a smile on her daughter's face. Claudia was the daughter Carmen always wanted to have. They were inseparable. Carmen was Claudia's eyes, ears, hands, heart, and soul. They completed each other with so much happiness and love. Carmen also became a second mother to her son-in-law, Diego. They shared so many coffee dates and laughs together. Not only was she the best mother any could have asked for, but also the best grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren - Juan Diego and Salome. She gave us care and spoiled us with so many kisses and hugs. She danced around and sung Helenita Vargas as I serenaded her and Salo danced with her. Her laugh was so stunning and her fashion was jaw-dropping. There was not a day in her life that my grandmother did not dress well. She always had her fine jewelry and her prestigious make-up on. She welcomed everyone into her life and humbled everyone's perspective of life. I had the honor to give her to God. I held her hand and head as I prayed to God to bring her peace and joy. He did.

Obituary (Spanish):

Carmen Liliana Navarro era una amorosa madre, abuela, suegra y amiga. Ella tocó las vidas de todas las personas que conoció. Su sonrisa iluminaría toda una habitación incluso cuando estuviera aburrida. Criada en Colombia, Carmen terminó sus estudios secundarios y prosiguió una carrera en diseño de interiores hasta que nació su hermosa hija Claudia Arias. Carmen crió a su hija con tanta fuerza, pasión y amor. Ella era una madre soltera e hizo todo lo posible para traer comida a la mesa y mantener un techo para vivir. Carmen subió montañas, nadó mares, y movió tierra para traer una sonrisa en el rostro de su hija. Claudia era la hija que Carmen siempre quiso tener. Eran inseparables. Carmen era los ojos, los oídos, las manos, el corazón y el alma de Claudia. Se complementaron con tanta felicidad y amor. Carmen también se convirtió en una segunda madre para su yerno, Diego. Compartieron tiempo tomando café y se rían juntos. No sólo era la mejor madre que podía haber pedido uno, sino también la mejor abuelita de dos hermosos nietos: Juan Diego y Salome. Ella nos dio cuidado y nos mimaro con tantos besos y abrazos. Bailaba y cantaba a Helenita Vargas mientras yo le hacía serenata y Salo bailaba con ella. Su risa era tan impresionante como su moda. No hubo un día en su vida que mi abuelita no se vistió bien. Siempre tenía sus finas joyas y su prestigioso maquillaje. Ella dio la bienvenida a todos a su vida y le cambio con humilda la perspectiva de vida a todos. Tuve el honor de darsela a Dios. Le sostuve la mano y la cabeza mientras oraba a Dios para traerle paz y gozo. Él lo hizo. Te amamos abuelita.
