Obituary For Amelia Miramontes Navejas

Born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Amelia Navejas passed away peacefully in her home on June 8, 2015. The oldest of 14 children born to Domingo and Jovita Miramontes, she moved to Decoto, CA (now Union City) via Mexico, in 1941, until she became a resident of Fremont, CA in 1970. She was married to Jose Navejas for almost 60 years, until his passing in 2008. She was a loving wife, caring mother of four children, proud grandmother, sweet auntie, and a grateful mother-in-law. Known affectionately as Nena by those close to her, she treasured spending time with family, especially her sisters. She was a devoted member of the Primera Iglesia Bautista Church in Union City where she felt so much at peace. She enjoyed watching Univision Spanish Television, especially the novelas (soap operas). A sports fan only by association, she enjoyed the happiness experienced by her family celebrating recent Giants’ and Warriors’ successes. With that gentle, sweet smile of hers, she will be greatly missed and forever loved.

Survived by her children: Joe Navejas (Estela), Gloria Moser (Dave), Yolanda Velez (Hector), and Elizabeth DeLillo (Dale); grandchildren: Derek, Joe, Jr., Gabriel, Marcus, Orlando, Patricia, Bryan, and Evan; and siblings: Lucy Chapa (Joe), Eva Viera (Tony), Julie Castro (Tony), Robert Miramontes (Mary), and Daniel Miramontes. Also survived by several nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 17, from 5-8pm with a Chapel Service at 6:30pm at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. A Funeral Service will begin on Thursday, June 18, 10am at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Irvington Memorial Cemetery in Fremont, CA.

    Hermosa Amelia que fue un ejemplo de fortaleza y amor !! Nuestro mas sincero pesame para sus hijos, Gloria, Yolanda, Liz & Joe y para el resto de su familia. No es facil aceptar la ausencia de un ser tan amado, pero seguramente ella desearia que no sufran, ya que ella ahora esta al lado del Señor y de su querido esposo, quienes desde alla seguiran siendo sus angeles guardianes. Rogamos a Dios para que les llene de fortaleza y aceptación. Un abrazo de empatia con mucho cariño ! Maria del Socorro y Rosario Morales de Monterrey, N. L., Mexico

    Hi Mom, I know you are finally resting peacefully. Pop has been waiting to reunite with you for 7 years, and I know you have been waiting for this reunion as well. He must be ecstatic that you are there with him. I know you are happy together once again. Don't worry about me and my sisters. We are all very happy that you are together once again. Please enjoy the beauty of heaven together. Just know that we will continue to love you forever. Bye for now, Mom . . . . .Your son, Joe

    Mi queridisima tia Amelia: desde que perdi a mi adorisima mama usted quedo en su lugar. Le doy gracias a DIOS que me la presto y me gustaba ir a visitarla y poder compartir mis suenos y pensamientos con usted. Los buenos consejos que me brindo y el carino que compartio conmigo nunca tendre modo de pagarle por todo que hizo por mi. Pero tenga por seguro que la ame con todo mi alma y espero que lo haya sentido tal y como se lo ofrecia. La extranare por el resto de mi vida lo que DIOS me preste y estoy segura que ya encontro la paz junto con mi tio Jose y su familia y con el resto de la familia Navejas. Hasta pronto mi adorada tia/mama

    Hi Mom, It's been 4 years since we last had you with us on earth for Mother's Day. Where ever you are in heaven, I'm sure you know that you now have 2 beautiful great grandchildren, Sebastian and Camilla. You would be so proud of them, seeing them develop like you saw all your grandchildren and children develop. I know for sure that little Camilla will be taught all the wonderful things you stood for, and how you would be showing your love for them if you were still with us. In the meantime, I hope you keep resting in peace and know that I love you eternally, very very much. I miss you a lot. Your son, JoseLuis

    My Dear Mom, As you know, I dreaded this day, for the simple reason of not having you in my presence day to day. Each time I think of you, it's with a heavy heart. I can't think of you without tears in my eyes. My heart aches for you and I need to hear your voice. I need to call you as I did numerous times every day. Oh Mom, my love is so deep for you, that the day we say our final goodbye, half of my heart will be buried with you as I told you so many times. I don't know how I'm going to go on without you in my life, but one thing for sure, I will remember how strong you were in everything and how you tried to make me understand to be strong by having faith. I Love You! Your daughter, Yolanda

    Mom, today is a bittersweet day. Your grandson, Bryan is graduating today and I know how happy you were to be able to watch him graduate. The graduation will go on and you will be with us still, maybe not in body, but definitely in spirit. I love you and miss you so much mom...I have dialed your number so many times this week and had to stop myself. Thinking of you today and always! All my love, Liz

    Mom, I miss you so much that every time I had an issue I didn’t quite understand, I knew I could count on your advice and I always felt so reassured with your answer. Mom no more pain like you always told me, when we go home to be with God. Love you mom! Your daughter, Gloria
