Mary Ellen Stiles' Obituary
On Wednesday, March 6th, 2019, Mary Ellen Stiles, loving mother and grandmother, lost her battle with cancer and passed away at age 60.
Mary was born October 9, 1958 in Key West, Florida to Miguel and Rita Martha Noa. She graduated from Key West High School in 1976 as a proud "Conchette." She married and raised two children, Richard and Danielle.
Mary was very proud of her two amazing grandchildren Megan and Chris. Her greatest joy was to watch them have fun at Disney World, even when she herself didn't have the strength to walk the park on her own. Every week she most looked forward to thrift shopping for far too many clothes and shoes with her mother and sister.
She is survived by her mother, Rita Noa and father, Miguel Noa; her loving sister, Rose Ramos and her husband Reuben Ramos; her two children, Richard Recupero and Danielle Cruz; her granddaughter, Megan Cruz and grandson, and Christopher Cruz; her nephew, Anthony Ramos and her niece, Christina Ramos, and her dog, Noah. In the end she said she didn't want to leave her family, and she never will. She will live on in our hearts forever.
A Funeral Service will be held Thursday, March 14, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel of Williams-Thomas Funeral Home Westarea, 823 NW 143rd Street, with Fr. John Phillips officiating. The family will receive friends for 30 minutes prior to the service, beginning at 10:30 a.m. For those who wish, donations may be made to Haven Hospice, 4200 NW 90th Blvd., Gainesville, FL 32606.
