Colbert Andreus

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Colbert Andreus, a beloved son and father, and dedicated grandfather, who left this world peacefully on August 24, 2026, at the age of 99. Born on January 7, 1927 in Haiti, Colbert's journey led him to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he became an integral part of the community. Colbert was a devoted family man, survived by his cherished children: Roosvelt A. Andreus, Marie Carmen Jacques-Louis, Nicolas Andreus, Robert Andreus, Rolles Andreus, and Carline Andreus, and their spouses; 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph Andreus and Lucine Fonrose, as well as his sister, Marie Cinarita Colas, his wife Amancia Oge, and his daughter Rose Andree Andreus. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched with his kindness, resilience, and unwavering spirit.

As a mason in the construction industry, Colbert was known for his hardworking nature and dedication to his craft. He approached every task with passion and integrity, leaving a lasting impact on his colleagues and the structures he helped create. His greatest fulfillment in life was serving the Lord. He was a very social person who easily connected with people everywhere he went, always engaging in pleasant conversations. He was always dressed nicely and always displaying a beautiful smile. He was a bountiful gardener during his time in Haiti, and he also enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. He could often be found playing a game of dominoes with his friends and family or drawing a crowd to listen to a funny story from his youth.

Colbert's warmth and wisdom will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His family will forever carry his memory in their hearts!

In honor of Colbert's life and legacy, funeral services will be held on Friday, September 4, 2026 at Ephraim French Seventh Day Adventist Church, 3160 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, CT. A viewing will be held from 9AM-10AM, followed by a service beginning at 10AM. Interment will follow immediately after at Mountain Grove Easton Cemetery, 100 Harvester Road, Easton, CT.

In this time of grief, we invite all who knew and loved Colbert to join us in paying tribute to a life well-lived. He will be remembered not only for his achievements but also for the love he cultivated among his family and friends. May he rest in peace, eternally cherished in our hearts.

C’est avec une profonde tristesse que nous annonçons le décès de Colbert Andreus, un fils et un père bien-aimé, ainsi qu’un grand-père dévoué, qui nous a quittés paisiblement le 24 août 2026, à l’âge de 99 ans. Né le 7 janvier 1927 en Haïti, le parcours de Colbert l’a conduit à Bridgeport, dans le Connecticut, où il est devenu un membre important de la communauté.

Colbert était un homme profondément dévoué à sa famille. Il laisse dans le deuil ses enfants bien-aimés : Roosvelt A. Andreus, Marie Carmen Jacques-Louis, Nicolas Andreus, Robert Andreus, Rolles Andreus et Carline Andreus, ainsi que leurs conjoints; 12 petits-enfants et 7 arrière-petits-enfants. Il fut prédécédé par ses parents, Joseph Andreus et Lucine Fonrose, ainsi que par sa soeur, Marie Cinarita Colas, son épouse, Amancia Oge, et sa fille, Rose Andree Andreus. Son héritage perdurera à travers les nombreuses vies qu’il a touchées par sa bonté, sa résilience et son esprit inébranlable.

Maçon de profession, Colbert était reconnu pour son ardeur au travail et son dévouement à son métier. Il accomplissait chaque tâche avec passion et intégrité, laissant une empreinte durable auprès de ses collègues et dans les ouvrages auxquels il avait contribué. Son plus grand accomplissement dans la vie était de servir le Seigneur. C’était une personne très sociable qui se liait facilement aux gens partout où il allait, engageant toujours d’agréables conversations. Il était toujours élégamment vêtu et arborait toujours un magnifique sourire. Durant son séjour en Haïti, il était un jardinier très accompli et appréciait également les plaisirs simples de la vie. On pouvait souvent le trouver en train de jouer aux dominos avec ses amis et sa famille, ou de rassembler les gens autour de lui pour écouter une histoire amusante de sa jeunesse.

La chaleur humaine et la sagesse de Colbert manqueront profondément à tous ceux qui ont eu le privilège de le connaître. Sa famille gardera à jamais sa mémoire dans leur cœur.

En hommage à la vie et à l’héritage de Colbert, les services funéraires auront lieu le vendredi 4 septembre 2026 à l’église adventiste du septième jour, Ephraim , située à 3160 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, CT. Une période de recueillement et de présentation du défunt aura lieu de 9 h à 10 h, suivie d’un service à 10 h. L’inhumation aura lieu immédiatement après, à Mountain Grove Easton Cemetery, 100 Harvester Road, Easton, CT.

En cette période de deuil, nous invitons tous ceux qui ont connu et aimé Colbert à se joindre à nous pour rendre hommage à une vie pleinement vécue. Il restera dans notre mémoire non seulement pour ses réalisations, mais aussi pour l’amour qu’il a partagé avec sa famille et ses amis. Qu’il repose en paix, éternellement chéri dans nos cœurs!

En Memoria de Santos Cruz

Santos Cruz, nacido el 1 de noviembre de 1930 en Humacao, Puerto Rico, falleció en paz el 22 de agosto de 2026 en Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Santos será recordado con mucho amor por la alegría que encontraba en la música y por la calidez que esa alegría brindaba a todos los que lo rodeaban. La música fue una parte importante de su vida, ya fuera cantando, tocando un instrumento o bailando. Compartía libremente ese amor por la música, llevando ritmo, sentimiento y felicidad a quienes tuvieron la dicha de conocerlo.

Santos también tenía un sentido del humor contagioso y el don de hacer reír a los demás. Disfrutaba de la pesca y era un excelente cocinero, preparando con gran talento muchos platos deliciosos. Entre sus especialidades se encontraban los bacalaitos fritos y la harina de maíz con sardinas, platos que permanecerán como recuerdos entrañables para quienes tuvieron el placer de disfrutarlos.

Le precedieron en la muerte su padre, Anselmo Cruz; su madre, Juanita Morales; y muchos de sus hermanos.

Santos deja una familia amorosa que llevará su recuerdo en el corazón. Le sobrevive su querida pareja de más de 30 años, Ana Ramos, cuyo amor y compañía fueron una parte importante de su vida. También le sobreviven sus hijos, nietos y hermanos: sus hermanos Inez, Isabelo, Gregorio, Pablo y Aniceto; y sus hermanas Felicita, Giorgina y Cristina. Deja además una gran familia extendida de sobrinas y sobrinos, así como muchos queridos amigos y vecinos.

El amor que Santos compartió con quienes lo rodeaban continuará viviendo en el corazón de todos los que lo conocieron. Que los recuerdos de su risa, su música, su cocina y su espíritu generoso brinden consuelo a su familia y amigos en los días venideros.

Familiares y amigos están invitados a asistir al velorio el miércoles 2 de septiembre de 2026, de 4:00 p. m. a 7:00 p. m., en Funeraria Luz De Paz, 426 E. Washington Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06608.

Santos Cruz, born on November 1, 1930, in Humacao, Puerto Rico, passed away on August 22, 2026, in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

He had an infectious sense of humor, enjoyed fishing and was an outstanding cook. With great talent he prepared many delicious dishes, especially bacalaitos fritos and harina de maiz con sardinas.

He was preceded in death by his father, Anselmo Cruz, and his mother, Juanita Morales and many siblings.

Carmen Gonzalez Perez

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carmen Gonzalez Perez on August 15, 2026, at the age of 76. Born on January 8, 1950, in Lares, Puerto Rico, Carmen embodied warmth, love, and kindness. She lived a full life in Stamford and Bridgeport, Connecticut, where she raised her family and shared her love of life with everyone around her.

Carmen was a devoted mother to her three children and spouses: Carmen A. Nieves (Victor), Juan L. Quiñones (Caren), and the late Ramiro Quiñones (D) (Jeannine). Her love, support, and compassion leave a legacy that will live on through her family and all who knew her. She also leaves behind the apples of her eye, her four grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren, and her godchildren and those non-related children she adopted in love.

Her devoted siblings, who are also heartbroken by her passing, include Joaquin Gonzalez-Perez, Blanca Gonzalez-Perez, Anabel Gonzalez-Perez, Jose Gonzalez Perez, and Milagros Gonzalez Perez (D). She was preceded in death by her parents, Joaquin Gonzalez Nieves and Ana Perez Arce.

Though she faced challenges along the way, Carmen approached life with resilience and an unwavering belief in the importance of serving her family and community. A woman of strength and grace, she humbly volunteered at the New Covenant Center Soup Kitchen food pantry, making sure people knew about the services and helping to ensure that her neighbors had something to eat. Her dedication to helping others earned her recognition as Volunteer of the Year.

Carmen's generosity extended far beyond volunteering. She served as a translator, helped others complete important documents, provided transportation to medical appointments, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. She also enjoyed making pizzas and preparing traditional Puerto Rican food to sell and share with others.

Wherever she went, Carmen connected with people with ease and sincerity, leaving her footprints firmly embedded in the lives she touched. Her family was her priority, and she treasured the moments they shared. Her creativity and independence were evident in everything she did. Her warmth embraced those around her.

In celebration of Carmen's life, her family invites friends and loved ones to join them in honoring her memory. Funeral services will be held Sunday, August 23, 2026, from 3:00–6:00 p.m. at Funeraria Luz de Paz, 426 East Washington Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Carmen's memory to New Covenant Center's Food Pantry, where she proudly served for many years.

Angeline Correa Falcon

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Angeline Correa Falcon, who left this world on August 15, 2026, in her beloved hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Born on January 5, 1971, also in Bridgeport, Angeline was a constant source of light, warmth, and resilience throughout her 55 years of life.

Angeline’s journey began in the heart of Bridgeport, where she was welcomed into the world by her beloved parents, Juana Correa and the late Angel I. Falcon. Raised with strong family values and an unwavering sense of compassion, Angeline learned early on the importance of kindness, community, and love. These qualities would become the hallmarks of her life, shaping every bond she formed and every path she walked.

Those who knew Angeline will remember her as a devoted mother, and a treasured grandmother and daughter. As a mother, Angeline’s boundless devotion knew no limits. Her daughter Geeana Marroquin and her son Roosevelt Bradshaw III carry forward her legacy of love and determination, each a testament to her nurturing spirit and strength. The pride Angeline felt for her children extended effortlessly to her grandchildren, Adrianna and Ethan Marroquin. Her joy in watching them grow was matched only by their adoration for their grandmother’s gentle wisdom and boundless encouragement.

Angeline's vast interests stemmed from her inquisitive nature. She was a Jill-of-all-trades who dabbled in electrical tasks and soldering to lovingly baking delicious treats that accompanied an equally delicious cup of coffee. She attacked crossword puzzles while enjoying the sounds of '80s R & B and Soul music. Her inquisitive mind attracted her to investigative crime shows such as the CSI and Law and Order series and even Korean telenovelas. She found happiness in the Christmas holidays and infectiously shared that spirit with others. Her next trip to Puerto Rico was always on her mind as that is where she was able to recharge her energies. Angeline was a scholar of the Bridgeport Public School system attending: Barnum, High Horizon and Harding schools.

A viewing will be held in her honor on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Funeraria Luz De Paz, located at 426 E. Washington Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06608. All who wish to pay their respects and support the family during this difficult time are welcome.

Though Angeline has departed from this world, her spirit continues to shine brightly in the memories of all she loved and uplifted. Her legacy will endure in the hearts of her family—her daughter Geeana, her son Roosevelt, her grandchildren Adrianna and Ethan, and her mother Juana Correa and countless friends—as well as in the countless stories and moments she leaves behind. In remembering Angeline Correa Falcon, we honor not just the end of a life, but the enduring impact of a beautiful soul who loved unconditionally, gave generously, and found joy in the simplest, most profound moments shared with those around her.
