Ana Elba Lopez, 85, of Orlando, Florida, passed away on Saturday, January 17th, 2026. She is survived by her children (Lisa, Margie, Maritza, Aldo, Ralph, David, Steven, Dennis, and Michelle), 19 grandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren.

She was spunky, strong-willed, and unapologetically herself. Her love was rarely spoken but always shown, often served on a plate. Food was her love language, her way of caring, connecting, and bringing family together. Life shaped her strength, and that strength carried her through every season. As a grandmother and great-grandmother, her softer side shone more often. She took great pride in her growing family and found joy in watching generations gather, eat, laugh, and carry on traditions she helped create.

Though she is no longer here to cook for us, her spirit will forever be present at every family gathering, in every shared meal, and in the memories made around the table. Life will never be the same without her, but she will live on in our hearts forever.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and family—forever connected by shared meals, stories, and generations of memories. A life truly well lived.  Arrangements were handled by Baldwin Brothers Cremation and Funeral Society of Orlando, Florida.
