Guadalupe D. Ortiz Obituary

Guadalupe “Lupe” Ortiz, 74, of Peekskill, New York, passed away on July 19, 2026. 


She was a devoted mother, grandmother, educator, and woman of unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Above all, Lupe loved her family. They were the center of her life and her greatest joy. A true “guerrera”—a warrior—she faced life with remarkable strength, courage, and determination, always guided by her deep faith.


Lupe found great joy in her work as an educator, where her loving and nurturing spirit touched the lives of many children.


But her greatest joy was being a grandmother to Stella, Sawyer, Ruby, and Noah, whom she loved beyond measure.


Lupe is lovingly survived by her daughter, Lissette G. Fernández (Eric); her son, Nelson R. Fernández (Erin); her beloved grandchildren, Stella, Sawyer, Ruby, and Noah; her mother, Cornelia Alicia Gómez Ortiz; and her former spouse, Nelson L. Fernández Lovato, with whom she remained close and shared a lasting bond.

She was predeceased by her father, Juan Bautista Ortiz Navarrete.


Lupe will be remembered for her strength, her loving heart, her devotion to family, and the faith that carried her throughout her life. Her family finds comfort knowing she is now at peace in the loving presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

She fought with courage. She loved with her whole heart. She lived for her family. And through it all, she kept her faith.


“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7


Her love, strength, and faith will live on in her family forever.

Guadalupe “Lupe” Ortiz, de 74 años, residente de Peekskill, Nueva York, falleció el 19 de julio de 2026. 


Fue una madre y abuela dedicada, una educadora de vocación y una mujer de fe inquebrantable en Jesús Cristo. Por encima de todo, Lupe amaba a su familia. Su familia era el centro de su vida y su mayor alegría. Una verdadera “guerrera,” enfrentó la vida con una fortaleza, valentía y determinación extraordinarias, siempre guiada por su profunda fe.


Lupe encontró una gran satisfacción en su labor como educadora, donde su espíritu amoroso y dedicado tocó la vida de muchos niños.


Pero una de sus mayores alegrías fue ser abuela de Stella, Sawyer, Ruby y Noah, a quienes amó inmensamente.


Lupe deja con amor a su hija, Lissette G. Fernández (Eric); a su hijo, Nelson R. Fernández (Erin); a sus queridos nietos, Stella, Sawyer, Ruby y Noah; a su madre, Cornelia Alicia Gómez Ortiz; y a su exesposo, Nelson L. Fernández, con quien mantuvo una relación cercana y un vínculo duradero.

Fue precedida en la muerte por su padre, Juan Bautista Ortiz Navarrete.


Lupe será recordada por su fortaleza, su corazón amoroso, su devoción a la familia y la fe que la sostuvo a lo largo de toda su vida. Su familia encuentra consuelo al saber que ahora descansa en paz en la amorosa presencia de su Señor y Salvador, Jesús Cristo.

Luchó con valentía. Amó con todo su corazón. Vivió por su familia. Y, a través de todo, mantuvo su fe.


“He peleado la buena batalla, he acabado la carrera, he guardado la fe.” — 2 Timoteo 4:7


Su amor, su fortaleza y su fe vivirán para siempre en su familia.
