Hortensia Mendez-Romero, 40, passed away at home on Sunday, December 22.
She was born in Nealtican, Puebla, Mexico in 1979 to Maximino Mendez-Ramirez and Eulalia Romero-Castillo where she grew up before emigrating to the United States at 18 years old.
Hortensia loved life and enjoyed it to the fullest. She enjoyed her family’s company and would always walk around with a smile; she never had a bad day. Hortensia would cheer those around her in their gloomiest days. She spent most of her days at work as a floral designer for Creative Displays, if she wasn’t working, you could find her surrounded by family.
She is survived by her husband Isaac Valdetano-Luna, and their 3 children: Christopher, Jacqueline, and Sebastian Valdetano-Mendez; 13 siblings: Amalia, Aurelia, Felix, Isidoro, Carlos, Maximino, Alicia, Cristina, Elia, Leticia, Marta, Ana Lilia, and Irene Cindy; one grandchild: Isabella; and many loving nieces and nephews.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, December 26 from 5-9pm at Woolley-Boglioli Funeral Home, 10 Morrell Street, Long Branch with a funeral home service in between. Burial arrangements are to be announced in Mexico.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this very difficult time I am a teacher at Monmouth Day Care Center. I had the pleasure of having met Hortensia when the Red Bank School System was closed and Sebastian ( was still at MDCC) would come to my classroom Rainbow Room. Hortensia would always have a smile on her face and when she would see me in the hallway she would give me a big smile and a warm hello!! The world has lost a beautiful woman!!

I had the privilege of teaching Hortensia's son Sebastian in preschool. Hortensia was a dedicated, caring, loving mother. Hortensia's traits; kindness, respectfulness, a love of family and the importance of education were instilled in her son at a young age. Hortensia's spirit will live on in her children and their children. Rest in Peace.
