Diamilia F. Jimenez

Diamilia Felicidad Jimenez, 70, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, peacefully went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at her residence, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Gustavo Jimenez-Florez, with whom she shared 37 years of marriage.

Born in Carúpano, Sucre, Venezuela, she was the daughter of the late Pastor Avalo and Quintina Martinez. Diamilia was a devoted woman of God whose life was a beautiful testimony of unwavering faith and love for Jesus Christ. At the age of 20, she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior and never looked back. She dedicated her life to seeking God, studying His Word, and joyfully sharing the Gospel with everyone she encountered, including the doctors and nurses who cared for her during her illness. She faced her final days with the same faith that had carried her throughout her life, filled with peace and joyful anticipation of the day she would finally meet her Lord and Savior face to face. She remained faithful to Him until her very last breath.

After working at Tyson Foods for five years, Diamilia felt God's calling to devote more of her time to seeking Him. She was first a member of Alpha and Omega, followed by El Buen Pastor, and lastly Puerta de Refugio, remaining devoted to God throughout her life. A wonderful cook, Diamilia enjoyed preparing meals for family and friends, especially during the holidays. She treasured bringing loved ones together and creating lasting memories filled with food, laughter, and love. She shared a special bond with her sister, Leyda Martinez, who lovingly cared for her until the very end. Diamilia often thanked God for blessing her with such a caring and devoted sister.

She is survived by her three children, Victor Rosario (Iris E. Batis), Gustavo Jimenez Jr. (Alida Jimenez), and Yanadile Pierson (Darren L. Pierson, Jr.); eight grandchildren, Jaqueleen Rosario, Jahren Pierson, Kiomara Jimenez, Jayliana Rosario, Jayla Pierson, Adrian Jimenez, Jahleya Pierson, and Joycemar Rosario; and her great-granddaughter, Asiyana. She is also survived by her siblings, Florentino, Gudelia, María, Julián, Arcángel, Yajaira, and Leyda Martínez. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents, Pastor Avalo and Quintina Martinez, and her brother, Romeo Martínez.
