It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Milagros Vigo-Espinosa, who left us peacefully on February 24, 2025, at the age of 89.
Millie, as she was most often affectionately called, was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico on November 16, 1935, to Agripina “Pina” Acosta and Bartolo Vigo (deceased). She is survived by: husband Julio Espinosa, daughter Marangeli Gibbs, son Dwayne Nieves, sons-in-law Anthony Gibbs and Carl Washington, stepdaughter Julie Espinosa, stepson Frederick Espinosa, Grandsons Ishem Nieves and Rubio Espinosa, granddaughters Nykol Altieri, Myah Gibbs and Mariah Espinosa, great granddaughter Angelica Espinosa, special cousins Junior Acosta, Nela Abreu, Carmencita Santos, best friends Angeles and Augusto “Tuto” Quijano, Marta Moreno, Fela Nieves, Aida Ramirez, Rosa Armstrong, the Fuentas family, Elsie’s Beautiful Hair Salon Staff, and relatives and friends too numerous to mention. A special thanks and recognition to the teams and staff of the Ten Pins Bowling Alley, where Millie enjoyed playing all her life. Thanks also to the Continuum Care staff, especially Luisa Borgen, the caregiver so helpful in caring for Millie during her prolonged and debilitating illness.
