Born with a heart full of love, Nete spent her life putting others first. Her family was her world, and she showered them with boundless affection and steadfast support. Nete, was a loving and devoted wife, she shared a lifetime of joy, laughter, and unwavering support with her husband.

Nete’s life was fulfilled as a mother and Mimi. She nurtured her children and granddaughters with care, guiding and cheering them on every step of the way. She spent most of her time in life making and thinking of ways to ease life for those she loved. Her role as a sister and daughter was marked by enduring loyalty and kindness, always ready with a listening ear and a comforting embrace.

Her friends knew her as a steady ear, kind heart and gentle spirit always encouraging them with her warm smile and uplifting spirit. Nete’s commitment to her loved ones was unmatched, leaving a legacy of compassion and strength that will forever inspire those who had the privilege to know her.

Nete’s passion for helping people was carried over into her professional life, where she spent most of her career in the medical field.
