Josefina

Pazos

Josefina Pazos passed away at home on her favorite day of the year, December 24th, 2022, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.  She was 85 years old. She is lovingly survived by her soulmate Jose V. Pazos who has been by her side for more than 60 years.  Together they left Cuba to raise their two children in Chelsea where they have called home for 5 decades.

Fina, as she is affectionately known, was a fantastic cook.  Her personality was as feisty and hospitable as her food was savory and nourishing.  Preparing feasts for others brought her as much joy and satisfaction as it did to those who were blessed enough to partake in those meals.

Fina marveled at the beauty and elegance of the world.  Some of her favorite places include Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Cape Cod, and the mountains of New Hampshire.  She delighted in observing her grandchildren at amusement parks, the ocean or simply at a barbecue in her backyard.

In addition to her husband Fina is survived by her two sons and their spouses, Lazarus and Karen Pazos of Chelsea, Jorge and Danielle Pazos of Chelsea, her seven grandchildren, Christopher James Pazos of Wenatchee, Washington, Joseph Pazos, Anthony Pazos, of Chelsea.  Christopher Gerard and Kaitlyn of Haverhill, Emily Rose Pazos of Rowley, Jacob Andrew Pazos of Medford, and Nathaniel Lewis Pazos of Chelsea.  She is also survived by two great grandchildren, Easton Michael, and Myles Lawrence Pazos of Haverhill.
