CHARLOTTE – Aida Paula Suarez, 94, of Charlotte, NC, passed away on Monday, February 24, 2025, due to heart failure.
Born on January 15, 1931, in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, she was the fifth daughter of eight children born to the late Alberto and Patricia (Rodriguez) Gort. Aida taught elementary school in Cuba until the family immigrated to the United States in 1967 due to the communist regime of Fidel Castro. She lived in Florida until her husband Angel Orlando Suarez passed away in 2008 at which time she came to live in Charlotte with her oldest daughter Aida and her family.
Aida was an active member at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church teaching Kindergarten in Faith Formation for 10 years (2008-2018). For the last five years she enjoyed assisting in the day care of her great-grandchildren, Cecilia and Felicity. She had the heart of a servant, always doing something for others, and caring for everyone in the family. Her greatest joy were her family and her faith. She loved Jesus and above her door, no matter where she lived, there was always a painting of the Sacred Heart that she received as a wedding gift in 1953, and to whom she prayed daily. She also participated daily in the Holy Mass, Rosary, and Divine Mercy Chaplet through EWTN in Spanish. She had great devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary.
Aida is survived by her two daughters, Aida (Ruben) Tamayo and Ana Yolanda (Dennis) Holland; four grandchildren Danny Diaz, Andrew Tamayo, Amanda (Nelson) Ayson, Patrick Diaz and four great-grandchildren, Angel and Elijah Diaz and Cecilia and Felicity Ayson.
A visitation with Rosary will be held from 6:30-7:30 PM on Monday, March 3, 2025, at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, 6828 Old Reid Rd, Charlotte, NC. Her Funeral Mass will be held at 1:00 PM on Tuesday March 4, 2025. Interment will be private.
Aida's kindness, love and care for everyone will be greatly missed by her family and friends. The family wants to thank everyone for all their prayers, love, and support.
Arrangements are in the care of Kenneth W. Poe Funeral & Cremation Service, 1321 Berkeley Ave., Charlotte, NC 28204; (704) 641-7606. Online condolences may be shared at www.kennethpoeservices.com.
