Irma Soto, age 90, born July 2, in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, passed away Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 2:21am, peacefully, surrounded by loving family.

Irma grew up in Puerto Rico with five siblings, leaving in the late 1950s to start a new life in Chicago, Illinois, where she worked hard, loved, married, overcame many challenges and hardships, and raised her children in her cherished home.

Irma was very proud of having raised eight very different children and was loved by them. She will be remembered for her toughness, loyalty, compassion, humor, flair, and devotion to family, and at the sunset of her life, for being so very beloved by her grandchildren.

Irma was a Roman Catholic who loved traveling, reading, banana splits and vanilla ice cream, and her pets, including Cinder, Duke, Chi Chi, and Benji. However, she never came around to liking snakes and that has always been an ongoing joke in the family.

She was survived by her daughters Vilma Rodriguez, Maria Camacho, Lolie Camacho, Lourdes Camacho, and sons Julio Ortiz, Jose Camacho, Carlos Camacho, and Ted Camacho; 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Irma Dolores Adorno, formal husband, Rafael Soto, and brothers Anibal Rodriguez Jose Rodriguez and sister Margarita Rodriguez.
