Ana Hilda Cedeño

Ana Hilda Cedeno, 80, of Newark, New Jersey, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on December 11, 2025, at Mountainside Medical Center.
Born on July 14, 1945, in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, Ana was the beloved daughter of Pablo Crespo and Rosa Maria Carino. From a young age, she learned the value of hard work, faith, and family--values she carried with her throughout her life.
Ana was a gifted seamstress, working for many years before retiring. Through every stitch, she poured love, patience, and care into her work, always finding joy in creating something beautiful for others.
Her faith was the foundation of her life. A devoted Pentecostal, Ana was a faithful member of Hermanos Unidos en Cristo, where she worshipped with deep reverence and gratitude. She drew comfort from prayer, strength from the Word of God, and joy from fellowship with others. Ana was deeply committed to her church and community, serving with dedication as the coordinator of the church food bank. Through this ministry, she demonstrated steadfast compassion and a lifelong commitment to serving those in need.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Eliseo Cedeno, whom she loved deeply and now rejoins in eternal rest and her sister Mirna.
Ana's greatest pride and joy was her family. She leaves behind her loving children: Rosemarie, Phillip Edward, his wife Elizabeth Suarez-Cedeno, Jeffrey, and Aimee; and her precious grandchildren: Lyanna Marie, Jeremy Austin Rodriguez, Sophia Bellamina Cedeno, and Elijah Antonio John, who were the light of her life.
She is also lovingly remembered by her siblings: Emilia, Dalila, Gamaliel, Sigfredo, David, Elba, Maria Esther, Maria Judith, and Pablo, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
Ana will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her kind heart, her unwavering faith, and the unconditional love she gave to everyone she met. Her memory will live on in the stories shared, the prayers spoken, and the lives she touched so deeply.
Visitation will be on Thursday, December 18, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Zuasola Funeral Homes of New Jersey, LLC. 101 Union Ave., Belleville, NJ 07109.
