Omayra

Zywien

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Omayra Zywien, a beloved soul who left this world peacefully on April 12, 2026, at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, Massachusetts. Born on May 10, 1970, in Arroyo, Puerto Rico, Omayra graced the earth for 55 years, touching the lives of many with her unwavering spirit and deep love for family.

Omayra's journey began in Arroyo, where she spent her early years before moving to Chelsea at the tender age of eight where she attended local schools.  She was the cherished daughter of the late Jose Bones and Juana M. Gomez de Bones. As life unfolded, she embraced the roles of mother, sister, and friend with passion and devotion. Omayra is survived by her precious daughters, Annette Zywien and Ruby Alina Zywien, who were the light of her life.

She is also survived by her loving siblings, Tony, Sonia, Daisy, Osvaldo, Jose, Carlos, and Luis Bones—and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members and friends who all held a special place in her heart. Predeceased by her brother Leonides Bones, Omayra's strength and compassion left an indelible mark on those who knew her.

Throughout her life, Omayra devoted herself to her home and family, finding joy in nurturing those she loved. She was actively involved in her community, having taught religious education at a Christian Church in Whitinsville, impacting young lives with her dedication and faith. Her youthful spirit once shone brightly as she dabbled in modeling, reminding us all of her vibrant nature.

As we prepare to honor her remarkable life, relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend visiting hours for Omayra at the Welsh Funeral Home, located at 718 Broadway, Chelsea, on Saturday, April 18th, from 2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.

We will remember her not just in sorrow but in the cherished memories she has gifted us all. Though she has departed from this physical realm, her spirit will remain forever in our hearts, guiding us with love and compassion.

May she rest in eternal peace, embraced by the love she so freely gave.
