Luz Minerva Morales Dies at 82

Luz (Lucy) Minerva Morales, 82, of St. Augustine, Florida passed away peacefully into the glorious presence of our Lord and Savior on Aug. 18, 2025 in DeLand, Florida.

Luz Minerva Morales

She was a devoted and faithful servant of Christ who spent countless years spreading the message to the children of Southgate Baptist Church and Moultrie Baptist Church. She also led a Women’s Bible Study group and was a true apostle that never hesitated to spread her love of Christ.

Lucy is predeceased by her loving husband, Luis Morales.

She is survived by her three children, Michele Morales Davis and her spouse, Craig Davis; Christina (Tina) Morales Araman and her spouse, Jacques Araman; son, David Morales and his spouse, Alanna Hayden Morales; and five wonderful grandchildren: Chloe Sorrelle Phillips-Hayden, Sophie Marie Araman, Aaron Luis Morales, Maya Anne Araman and Xander Thomas Morales.

Lucy is also survived by her siblings: Louis Roman and Ivonne Roman Colon and her spouse, Humberto “Tito” Colon, as well her many relatives too numerous to mention.

The family announces two memorial services to honor and celebrate Lucy’s life in St. Augustine, her home for the last 10 years; and one in St. Croix, her beloved island home, where she will be reunited and laid to rest alongside her forever love, Luis Morales.
