Teofila Ramirez-Morales, a resident of Chester, N.Y., passed away on Aug. 13, 2026, at age 88.
The daughter of the late Juan Maria Ramirez-Pagan and Maria Angela Borrero-Rodriguez de Ramirez, she was born in Buena Vista, Dominican Republic, on December 24, 1937.
Teofila Ramirez-Morales passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by those who loved her. A devout Christian, devoted mother, and cherished grandmother, she spent her childhood in the Dominican Republic and later made New York City her home for many years, most recently residing in Chester, N.Y. She had a passion for writing poetry and songs, and found quiet joy in gardening and embroidering. She will live on in our hearts forever.
