Mrs. Tomasa Luna Rios

August 14, 1924 - March 2, 2021

Tomasa Luna Rios, age 96, went home to be with the Lord, at her residence, on March 2, 2021, following a brief illness, while in the company of her loving family. She was the widow of the late Eduardo Ferrer, who passed away in 2005. She was born in Palomas, Comerio, Puerto Rico on August 14, 1924, the daughter of Felipe Arroyo & Anastacia Rios. Tomasa loved gardening and all things floral. Her favorite flower was the red rose, and her eyes would light up at the site of them. She would pass the time sitting next to the window and quietly soak in the sights and sounds of her community. She enjoyed a good cup of coffee and looked forward to having another every morning, noon, and night. She loved babies; each time she was introduced to the newest member of the family, she would say “leave the baby with me”. She loved the Lord fiercely, and because of that, she loved her family unconditionally. Tomasa was a true matriarch. She was resilient, compassionate, and always led by example. She was preceded by her daughters, Adeliada Ferrer & Nelly Vargas; her daughter-in-law Maria Irene Ferrer; her grandchildren Javier Ferrer, Augustine Ferrer, Joel Ferrer, Luz Janice Ferrer, Carlos Morales & Evelyn Cruz; and her great-grandchildren Cesar Rosa & Ariana Evangelita Ferrer. She is survived by her children Francisco Ferrer & Ana Morales of Lowell, Ismael Ferrer of Lowell, Eduardo Ferrer of Lowell, Antonia Ferrer of Lowell, Evangelita Ferrer & Laurentino Rodriguez of Lowell, Maria Teresa & Jorge Matos of North Andover, Maria Judith Ferrer & Edwin Alvarado of Fitchburg, and her brother Daniel Arroyo of Palomas, Comerio Puerto Rico. She was the mother of 11 children, grandmother of 30 grandchildren, 63 great grandchildren and 17 great-great grandchildren. Our loss is now Heaven’s gain. Psalm 49:15. “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me.” FAMILY AND FRIENDS MAY CALL AT THE FAY McCABE FUNERAL HOME, 105 MOORE STREET, LOWELL, ON THURSDAY FROM 4 UNTIL 8 P.M.
