Fernandez, Carmen's Obituary
Carmen Fernandez was born in Havana, Cuba on October 25, 1964 to her mother Carmen Curbelo and father Adolfo Fernandez. She left Cuba on September 28, 1970 and moved to Tampa while her mother worked diligently to give her the beautiful life she deserved. Carmen attended Villa Madonna from K-8th grade and graduated from Hillsborough high school (82) After arriving in Tampa in 1970, she decided to continue her roots in the Tampa Bay Area and develop meaningful and everlasting relationships with friends the minute they met her. Carmen started a family of her own and worked hard since day one to give her children everything they needed and more. Her life was dedicated to her children and grandchildren. Carmen was dedicated and loyal to her job at Syniverse Technologies for over 35 years and established beautiful friendships with coworkers over the years. The relationships Carmen created will never be forgotten.
