Sylvia Arroyo

Sylvia Dominguez Arroyo, 90, of Opa-Locka, FL was peacefully called home to be with the Lord on

Monday, May 19, 2025.
She is now reunited in heaven with her beloved husband of 61 years, Ruben, and her beautiful middle

daughter and namesake, Sylvia "Sylvita" Cruz.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, Roberto and Adelina Dominguez; sisters and brothersin-law, Sara and Victor Rodriguez,

Rachel and Tomas Martinez, Ruth Esther and William Perez,

brother, Robert Jr., and brother-in-law, Salomon Ramos.

Sylvia is survived by her daughters, Adelinda Cambi and Flora Arroyo; grandchildren, Joshua and wife,

Stephanie Danforth, Tanya Cruz, Michelle Cambi, Felicia Cambi, Geno Oliveros and Tristan Oliveros;

great-grandchildren, Adrianah Cruz, Timothy Blake, Isaac Oliveros, Isaiah Oliveros; sister, Adeline

Ramos, brothers and sisters-in-law, Gabriel and Betty Dominguez, Carlos and Felicia Dominguez, and

Laurie Dominguez, and dozens of nieces and nephews who absolutely adored her. Had she stayed

with us just a few weeks longer, she would have had the honor of being called a great-GREATgrandmother by Adrianah's new baby girl, Blair.

Though she was born in New York where she lived in her early years, Sylvia's parents moved the family

to south Florida to do the Lord's work when she was a teenager. She graduated from Miami Jackson

High School where she was involved in the Christian Services Club and sang for the raising of the flag.

It was during one summer after graduation when she was spending time visiting her grandmother in

New York, where she met the love of her life, Ruben. After her return home, they continued their long distance courtship through letters to

one

another and would eventually marry, beginning their

beautiful family in New York. After many years, they decided to bring their small family to live in Opa-Locka, Florida, a place they would call

home until both of their passing.

Sylvia was a beautiful woman with a strong faith in God that stemmed from her parents' vocation in

spreading the gospel. She was a devoted wife, dedicated mother, loving grandmother, caring sister,

and sweet aunt. She loved outdoor gardening, her favorite bloom being the hibiscus. She also loved

gifting everyone a song on their birthday every single year.

In the absence of her life, all who loved her will cherish the many wonderful memories she left. May

her soul rest in eternal peace with our heavenly father.
