She is survived by her loving children: Ivelisse (Jim) Hamilton, Heriberto (Marisol) Sierra, Sammy (Barbara) Sierra, and Melissa Roque; 11 grandchildren; and 9 great-grandchildren. In addition to her parents, Aida was preceded in death by her beloved son, Raymond Sierra, and her great-grandson, Anthony Medina.
