In loving memory of Barbara Maria Tomas, age 65, of Riverview, FL, who departed this world on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at Tampa General Hospital.
Barbara was a cherished soul, born in Havana, Cuba, and embraced by the Tampa Bay community since 2017, after spending over two decades in Miami. Her devout Catholic faith was a guiding light in her life. She found joy in music, movies, Disney, and exploring the depths of history, particularly drawn to indigenous cultures.
Radiating warmth and kindness, Barbara touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. As a devoted mother, she poured boundless love and dedication into nurturing her family. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest treasures, and her love for them knew no bounds.
Beyond her role as a loving wife and mother, Barbara was a loyal friend and compassionate soul, offering sage advice and comfort with her empathetic nature. Her resilience and courage in the face of life's challenges were a testament to her inner strength, inspiring all who knew her.
While our hearts ache with her absence, we find solace in the knowledge that heaven has gained a remarkable angel. Barbara's spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched, and her memory will continue to inspire hope and fortitude. May she rest in eternal peace, knowing that her love and light will forever shine brightly in our hearts.
Barbara is survived by her devoted husband, Luis M. Tomas; her loving son, Luis A. Tomas; her daughters, Anissah Tomas and Jennie Sariego; her sisters, Ivette Wagner and Glenda Herbello; Godsister, Krysten Riordan; Godchildren, Jordenn and Jarred Wagner and her seven adoring grandchildren, Michael Tomas, Natalie Sariego, Amanda Sariego, Gabriel Sariego, Liam Tomas, Wesley Palmer, and Lando Palmer.
A service for Barbara will be held at Southern Funeral Care on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 1:30 PM with family receiving friends one hour prior.
