Lourdes Valeria Lopez

April 28, 1952 - March 21, 2021

Lourdes “Lou” Lopez, 68, of Tampa, passed away on March 21, 2021. Lou was survived by her sister Diana, her husband Felix Perez, her niece Maria and Sam Zambon; Cousins, Alex & Adele Daumy, Mariano & Eddy Alvarez, Jose A. Lopez, Laura & Dr John Koval, Debbie, Tanya & Kevin Daumy; Godson, Jorge C. Suarez Jr. Lou was born in Cuba to Carlos M. Lopez and Esther J. Alvarez. Lou then came to Tampa and called it home. She would sit with her niece and nephew when they came down from Cuba to teach them English because she felt it was important and to do things the American way. Lou was known for being a very sweet and caring person. Her love was felt by every person that walked into her life. She lived her life by the Philippian 4 12 and 13. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ( Filipenses 4-12 , Sé vivir humildemente y sé tener abundancia; en todo y por todo estoy enseñado, así para estar saciado como para tener hambre, así para tener abundancia como para padecer necesidad. Filipenses4-13 Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece.) Lourdes lived her three last years at The Colonnade of Northdale where she enjoyed her time there very much and everyone around her. It was the family request for the services to be private due to the current health crisis and will welcome a Life Celebration at a later date. In lieu of flowers Lourdes desired for any donation to be made to the homeless shelters, like Metropolitan Ministry to help those in need. Memories and messages of condolence can be shared on the Boza & Roel web site for the family.
