Margarita Cruz Montes

August 21, 1971 — August 2, 2024

Cruz Margarita Montes, age 52, of the Fairhill section of Philadelphia, peacefully passed away at her residence on Friday August 2, 2024, surrounded by those who loved her most.

Cruz Margarita Montes was born August 21, 1971, in Brooklyn, New York, to Mother Cruz Nilsa Lasalle and Father Neftaly Montes. Welcomed by her big brother Ernesto Montes. She was a beautiful baby girl but mischievous, she would jump through the bars of her crib to play, when she was suppose to be asleep. As she grew older she developed quite a temper, But she had a heart of Gold. She started singing for the Lord at a very young age, In youth chiors, she had a voice of an angel. Singing quickly became her passion, her reason for living, She was happiest when she sang. She was a very hard worker even when she could not. She faught to her very last breath. We will all miss you. She leaves behind her Mother Cruz Nilsa Lasalle, Brother Ernesto Montes and me, her sister Jacqueline Montes. 

You are free my Angel Fly High, say hi to dad for us, and continue singing for the Lord. We will miss you always,
