Irma E.

De Jesus

Irma De Jesus, 80 years old of Bright, IN, passed away peacefully the evening of Monday, March 9, 2026. Originally from Puerto Rico, Irma grew up in New York, before eventually settling in North Carolina and working as a certified nursing assistant. In 2007, she moved to Bright, IN to be with her daughter and her family. Irma was a devout Christian and found a home within Bright Christian Church. She enjoyed spending time with her church family making blankets for the Ronald McDonald House and various other missions. She liked to remind people she was a New Yorker, a woman strong in her convictions and one you didn't want to mess with, but her heart was gold. Irma was super sweet, and shy at times with a soft heart. She loved her family with everything she had. From moving back to Puerto Rico to take care of her parents to spoiling her grandchildren with love and words of wisdom, she treasured every moment she had with them.

Irma will be deeply missed by her daughters Nancy Centeno, Suzy (Frank Hanson) Centeno, and Gina (Joe) Kirk; 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren; siblings Rosa (Larry) Little and Rafael De Jesus. She is preceded in death by siblings Nylda Morales, Raymond De Jesus, Elizabeth De Jesus, and parents Irma Nieves and Rafael De Jesus.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, March 29 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm at Bright Christian Church. Family and friends are encouraged to leave condolences at www.andres-wuestefeldfh.com.
