It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Angelica Benavides, a devoted mother, beloved friend, and pillar of her community, who departed this world on June 7, 2025, at the age of 46.
Angelica’s life was defined by love—especially the unconditional love she had for her three children, including one with special needs. Her strength, patience, and dedication were extraordinary, and she built her life around ensuring her children had everything they needed to thrive. She leaves behind a legacy of sacrifice, resilience, and boundless compassion.
More than just a mother, Angelica was the heart of her family—a constant source of comfort, wisdom, and inspiration. She took on every challenge with grace, never wavering in her commitment. Whether acting as a teacher, a protector, or simply a warm presence, she made sure her children always felt safe and deeply loved.
Her nurturing spirit extended well beyond her household. Friends, neighbors, and even strangers were drawn to Angelica’s warmth and ability to truly listen. She had a gift for making others feel seen and valued. Her kindness left a lasting mark on everyone she met.
In her hometown of Corona, California, Angelica was known as a quiet yet powerful presence. She volunteered at schools, participated in local initiatives, and maintained deep connections with her community. Her actions were always guided by empathy and her belief in the power of strong, supportive relationships.
Since her passing, the outpouring of love from the community has been overwhelming. Friends and family have come together to offer comfort, share memories, and support Angelica’s children during this unimaginable time. The love and strength she instilled in them will carry forward, a testament to the incredible woman she was.
As her children navigate life without their mother, they do so grounded in the values she taught—perseverance, compassion, and selfless love. Though her physical presence is gone, Angelica’s spirit lives on, in the laughter of her children, in the hearts of those she touched, and in the lessons she quietly modeled every day.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes support in any form—emotional, financial, or simply shared stories—to ensure Angelica’s children receive the care and encouragement she gave so freely.
Rest in peace, Angelica Benavides. Your light will continue to shine through your children and your community. Your legacy of love and strength will never be forgotten.
