Tribute to Carmina Pelaez Massey

If you knew our mom, Carmina, you know all too well what a generous and giving person she was. Throughout her life she volunteered her time to many charitable organizations in ways both large and small. In her later life, she led the Club de Damas Hispanas of the Bahamas (the Hispanic Women’s Club) as president for several terms that, through social and civic activities and events, raised money to help the disenfranchised and vulnerable in that country. She was always a person who rolled up her sleeves and was “all in” whenever called upon to help others. As Alzheimer’s began to take its toll on our dear mother, we, her children, made the difficult decision to move her to Miami, Florida, where she could receive ongoing oversight and care of her progressive affliction. We were referred to Dr. Marc Agronin of the MIND Institute at Miami Jewish Health for her care. Throughout her last eight years, as this cruel disease took its toll on mom, the care, concern and expertise of Dr. Agronin and the MIND Institute was a great solace and support in our managing of mom’s care. In addition the Alzheimer’s research of the Institute conducts important work into learning more about the disease, for the benefit of future patients and their families. In lieu of flowers at this time, we hope you will consider a donation to the MIND Institute for continued Alzheimer’s research in memory of our mom, Carmina Peláez Massey.
