Nina Maria (Lopez) Zaragoza, 69, professor of education, author and renowned specialist in reading and language arts, passed away on November 20, 2024, in New York City, after a two-year battle with cancer. She was a beloved mother of three, grandmother of two and cherished teacher to countless others. Her three boys, Christian, Michael and Derek, and two grandchildren, Joaquin and Cordelia, will miss her dearly.
She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and sacrifice that touched the lives of hundreds of students and educators in countries all over the world. Her published work and mentorship focused primarily on building a foundation of trust and love before ever considering the technicalities of educating. Her faith in the transformative love of Jesus Christ sustained her while working with children in Miami, New York, Haiti, Zambia, India, Greece and Palestine. She will be celebrated and her memory cherished by all blessed by God to know her.
