Normally, the funeral is an opportunity for the St. Thomas and St. John communities to gather in support of one another. Although we cannot gather together with Ms. Padilla’s family at this time, friends may still offer their support by sharing a special memory or message by going to www.hurleydavisfuneralhome.com

Due to the global pandemic, Coronavirus (COVID-19), and public health guidance, viewing and services of the late Altagracia Padilla will be for family only.
