In Loving Memory of
Luz Merie”CUCA” Pagan-Soto
April 16 1957- December 17 2023
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Luz
Merie “CuCa” Pagan-Soto.
She was a devoted social worker, a nurturing mother and grandmother , a child of God-almighty
and a cherished friend to all who knew her. Cuca peacefully left this world on December 17
2023, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on April 16 1957, she was the epitome of grace, compassion, and selflessness. She was a
beacon of light, always putting others before herself and going above and beyond to help those
in need within her family and community. Her genuine warmth and unwavering love touched the
lives of countless individuals, and her memory will forever be etched in our hearts.
As a mother, Cuca was a guiding force, leading by example with her strong moral values and
unwavering support. She instilled in me the importance of family, perseverance, and kindness.
Her love knew no bounds, and she always made sure to create a loving and nurturing home for
her son and grandchildren.
Cuca possessed a unique ability to make each of us feel special and loved, and her absence
leaves an irreplaceable void in our lives.
Beyond her role as a mother and grandmother, Cuca was also a dedicated friend, social worker
and confidante.
Her infectious smile, genuine interest in others, and comforting presence made her the go-to
person for advice and support.
She had an angelic ability to make everyone feel valued and heard, and her friendship along
with her words of wisdom, strength and acceptance was a true blessing.
In her free time, Cuca enjoyed reading, dancing, feeding the wildlife in her mothers back yard,
participating in church functions, spending time with her son & grand-children and going to the
beach followed by eating seafood which was her favorite.
Her enthusiasm and zest for life were contagious, and she always managed to find joy in the
simplest of things.
Whether it was tending to her beloved mother or spending quality time with her family,friends
and co-workers alike, she radiated happiness and contentment.
As a alumni of Norwalk Community College, and Sacred Heart University, she achieved her
Masters Degree in Social Services in which she dedicated a vast portion of her life to the
communities of Norwalk & Bridgeport Connecticut, helping those who’s voices needed to be
heard.
Cuca leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and compassion. She will be deeply missed by
her mother Fredeswinda Valentin, sister & brother Diana and Bady, her grandchildren Crystalle,
Lexani, Armarani. Nieces Sonya,Jessica Daianara, Aunt Cochy, her dearest friends Joanna
Cruz, Marina Rivera, Diana Roman and her only child Julio G Pagan. Along with her coworkers
from Optimus Health Care
Her memory will forever live on through the countless lives she touched, and her spirit will
continue to guide and inspire us.
A Celebration of Life will be held on

5 E Wall St Norwalk CT.
Burial services will take place in Cabo Rojo Puerto Rico on January 10th 2024 as she is
