Irene Puig, Whittier, CA—The Whittier community is mourning the loss of Irene Puig, who passed away on July 24th, 2024, at 8:22 am in her home. Irene was a beloved mother and grandmother, known for her strength and dedication to her family.
Irene’s passing has left her family heartbroken. She fought bravely until the end, despite being unable to talk or open her eyes, communicating with her family through eye and jaw movements. Her final moments were spent surrounded by her son, daughter, grandsons, and daughter-in-law, just as she had wished. Irene is now at peace in heaven, reunited with her late husband Mike and her sons Mike, Bill, David, and Tom Puig.
A devoted stay-at-home mom, Irene was a cornerstone of her family, always there to watch her grandchildren so her children and their spouses could work. She was renowned for her culinary skills, especially her meat and potato tacos, beans with chorizo and cheese, and Spanish rice. Irene also had a passion for holiday decorations, ensuring her home was festive for Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. She always made sure her grandchildren received special gifts during Christmas.
Her surviving children, Brett and Marylinda Puig, are devastated by her sudden passing. Just a few months ago, Irene was independently taking care of herself, walking with a walker, talking, and enjoying sweets and sodas. Her health declined rapidly due to a blood clot in her lungs, kidney failure, and pneumonia in three parts of her lungs.
The Puig family is overwhelmed with grief and unprepared for the medical bills and funeral expenses. Vanessa Enriquez has organized a fundraiser to help cover these costs, aiming to raise $25,000. So far, $300 has been raised through the generous donation of Yvonne Enriquez.
Funeral arrangements for Irene Puig are as follows: a viewing will be held on August 13th at 5 pm at White Emerson Mortuary in Whittier, followed by a mass on August 14th at 10 am at St. Gregory Church in Whittier. The burial will take place at 12 pm at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Rosemead.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Irene Puig. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
