Noelia Morales, 75, of Orlando, Florida passed away Tuesday, June 29, 2021. She was born on October 2, 1945 in Ponce, Puerto Rico - the Island of her heart and her beautiful mountains. As she always said, "I love my mountains!" She also lived in several other states as an Army brat, ultimately ending up in New York and then Orlando, Florida. Noelia was a God fearing woman with a giving spirit and a genuine loving heart. She knew no strangers and was a friend to all of whom she met. She was an avid reader. She loved to read from her library of over 3,000 books, sitting in her back porch with the cool breeze on her back and a good book in her hand in the evenings. As a Christian Pastor she led a life of example showing God's love in everything she did, caring for everyone she came in contact with. She traveled to Costa Rica on a missions trip with her husband, Luis Morales, sharing the Word of God and the love she had for him with all who would hear. Her legacy is her loving family whom she cared for and adored so dearly, and spent every moment she could with them teaching them all her family traditions, recipes etc. A loving family of Navy and Army men and women. Her son, - A Renaissance Man - chef, mechanic, great husband, dad, and a loving son who would turn the world upside down and give her the moon full of orchids if it was possible. A writer-photographer, A Cordon Bleu Baker/Chef, psychology graduate, a singer, two musicians, and strong hard working mothers and daughters who loved and cared for their families and as well as her in her elder years. She instilled in them the love of God and family just as she learned at an early age that He, God, is the Light and the Truth that guided her always. Her 8 children, 11 grandchildren 7 great grandchildren, 2 fur babies and 6 grand fur-babies were her life; she loved every single one of them. Not to mention all the children she taught in her missions school in Puerto Rico and her extended family of sisters and brothers nieces and nephews from Puerto Rico and from New York from the Medina, Flores, and Rodriguez sides of the family. She was a favorite aunt to many and sometimes a fill in mom to some. She loved her family and kept them all in her heart and prayers daily. When she prayed she really prayed hard for them all. She knew God would answer her prayers, protecting her family, and guiding them in life and love. She conquered the world with her "Sword of Faith and Truth" living her life to the fullest.
