Obituary

Mercedes Gonzalez, 77, of Richmond, Virginia, entered into the presence of her Lord on Thursday, June 25, 2026. She was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, to the late Rafael Pagán and Manuela Sellas.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Angel Luis Santiago, and her son, Angel Luis Santiago Pagán.

She is lovingly survived by her life partner Emeregildo Aceituno daughters, Gloria Vargas, Altagracia Vargas, Milagros Mercedes Richards (William), and Karolyn Santiago; 13 grandchildren; great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, extended family members, dear friends, and her beloved church family.

Mercedes had a beautiful spirit and a heart full of love. She loved sunflowers, music, laughter, and spending time with those she cherished most. Her faith in God guided her life, and she faithfully served and loved her church family. Her greatest wish was for her family to remain united in love.

Surrounded by love, dignity, and prayer, Mercedes passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior. Though our hearts are broken, we rejoice knowing she is free from pain and reunited with those who went before her.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, July 3, 2026, at Morrissett Funeral & Cremation Service, 6500 Iron Bridge Road, North Chesterfield, VA 23234.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18  

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever in our hearts

Mercedes tenía un hermoso espíritu y un corazón lleno de amor. Amaba los girasoles, la música, la vida y compartir con su familia, sus amigos y su familia de la iglesia. Su fe en Dios fue el centro de su vida y su mayor deseo fue que su familia permaneciera unida.
