1954 - 2025
Born in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, Felicita was the daughter of the late Justo Masas and Lydia Burgos Rodriguez. She attended elementary and middle school in Juncos, Puerto Rico, and graduated from Maynard High School. A devoted housewife and mother, Felicita cherished raising her family. Her Christian faith was central to her life—she loved listening to worship music, playing guitar, and singing to the Lord—and she was a devoted member of Gethsemane Church in Framingham. She also enjoyed sewing and crocheting.
