Agapita Magallanes-Flores, age 88, of Villa Park, passed away February 2, 2026.

Con profundo dolor, pero con la esperanza firme en la vida eterna, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Agapita Magallanes Flores, nacida el 28 de agosto de 1937, quien partió al encuentro del Señor el 3 de febrero de 2026, dejando un legado inmenso de amor, fe y entrega.

Agapita compartió 71 años de matrimonio junto a su amado esposo, José Ángel Valenzuela, con quien formó un hogar sólido basado en el amor, la fe y los valores católicos. Fue madre ejemplar de 12 hijos, orgullosa abuela de numerosos nietos y bisnietos, a quienes amó profundamente y por quienes siempre oró.

Durante los últimos años de su vida, Agapita estuvo rodeada del amor, la dedicación y el cuidado constante de sus hijas Tomasa, Abigail y Silvia, quienes la acompañaron con paciencia, cariño y devoción, siendo un reflejo del amor que ella sembró en su familia.

Fue una gran esposa, una madre extraordinaria, una abuela devota y una bisabuela llena de ternura. Su vida fue un testimonio de servicio, sacrificio y amor incondicional. Su ejemplo vivirá por siempre en cada generación.

Confiamos en la promesa del Señor:

“Yo soy la resurrección y la vida; el que cree en mí, aunque esté mu**to, vivirá.” Juan 11:25

Y descansamos en Su palabra:

“El Señor es mi pastor; nada me faltará.”

Salmo 23:1

Hoy la encomendamos a Dios con la certeza de que descansa en Su paz eterna, donde no hay dolor ni sufrimiento, sino descanso y vida eterna.

Descansa en paz, querida Agapita. Nuestra Vita. Tu fe y tu amor nos guiarán hasta el día del reencuentro. Te amamos por siempre.
