Obituary For Nivia Andujar

In loving memory of Nivia Andujar, a radiant soul born on December 14, 1987, in Youngstown, Ohio. She was the beloved daughter of Rose Torres and the late Edwin Andujar. Nivia's journey through this world brought light to everyone she encountered until her untimely departure on January 13, 2026. She leaves behind warmth, laughter, and an indelible mark on the hearts of her loved ones.

A graduate of Warren G. Harding High School, Nivia lived a life filled with ambition and grace, embracing each day with a heart full of love. She found joy in the simple things, such as cooking for her family, the soothing sounds of old school R&B music flowing from her boom box, and the peaceful moments spent surrounded by her beloved plants on her back porch. Nivia’s love for pink roses was matched only by her devotion to creating a clean, welcoming home which reflected her vibrant, positive energy. Her laughter was infectious, her smile a beacon of positivity that could light up even the darkest days.

Proud of her Puerto Rican heritage and strong sense of family, Nivia’s legacy is entrusted to her loving children Ronald Rosa Jr., Ryan Rosa and Rosemary Rosa. Precious memories are shared by her mother and sisters Ashley Starkey, Amber Gonzalez, Jessica Oracio, Jasmine Andujar, and Yesenia Andujar, along with a score of family and friends. Nivia will be fondly remembered for living life simply, joyfully, and without complication, sharing her beautiful energy with everyone around her. All who knew her will carry a piece of her heart with appreciation for her gift of love, warmth, and good times.

In the echo of her laughter and the beauty of her spirit, may we find comfort in Nivia’s memory as we share stories and celebrate the joy that she brought into the lives of others. As Nivia crossed the celestial sands into eternity, she became reunited with her father and grandparents, Nilda & Jaime Torres and Alivilda & Thomas Andujar.

The family invites the community to gather in remembrance of a beautiful soul whose life will continue to inspire hopefulness. A celebration of her life will take place with a public viewing on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM, at the Jaylex Event Center, 2110 Glenwood Ave., followed by a heartfelt funeral service officiated by Pastor Rafael Cruz Jr. of Unity Baptist Church.

At this time of intimate need and personal loss, the family of Nivia Andujar elected to entrust the Ministry of Comfort & Care, along with Transitional After-Care Arrangements to the J.E. Washington Funeral Services, 2234 Glenwood Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio, 330.782.8500

En amoroso recuerdo de Nivia Andujar, un alma radiante nacida el 14 de diciembre de 1987 en Youngstown, Ohio. Fue la amada hija de Rose Torres y del fallecido Edwin Andujar. El paso de Nivia por este mundo trajo luz a todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerla, hasta su partida inesperada el 13 de enero de 2026.

Graduada de Warren G. Harding High School, Nivia vivió una vida llena de ambición y elegancia, abrazando cada día con un corazón colmado de amor. Encontraba alegría en las cosas sencillas, como cocinar para su familia, disfrutar de los suaves sonidos del R&B clásico que salían de su radio, y compartir momentos de paz rodeada de sus amadas plantas en el patio trasero de su hogar. Su amor por las rosas rosadas solo era comparable con su dedicación a mantener un hogar limpio y acogedor, reflejo de su energía vibrante y positiva. Su risa era contagiosa y su sonrisa, un faro de optimismo capaz de iluminar incluso los días más oscuros.

Orgullosa de su herencia puertorriqueña y de su profundo amor por la familia, el legado de Nivia vive en sus amados hijos Ronald Rosa Jr., Ryan Rosa y Rosemary Rosa.

Nivia será recordada con cariño por vivir la vida de manera sencilla, alegre y sin complicaciones, compartiendo su hermosa energía con todos a su alrededor. Quienes la conocieron llevarán siempre una parte de su corazón, agradecidos por su regalo de amor, calidez y buenos momentos.

Al cruzar Nivia las arenas celestiales hacia la eternidad, se reúne con su padre y sus abuelos Nilda y Jaime Torres, y Alivilda y Thomas Andujar. En el eco de su risa y en la belleza de su espíritu, que encontremos consuelo en su memoria mientras compartimos historias y celebramos la alegría que Nivia Andujar trajo a nuestras vidas.

La familia invita a la comunidad a reunirse en recuerdo de esta hermosa alma, cuya vida continuará inspirando esperanza.
