Enedina Arballo (Niney Jimenez), 74, went home to be with the Lord and Heaven gained another angel on February 10, 2024.She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She now has a perfect body with no aches or pains.

Niney came into this world with a bang. She was born on July 4, 1949, and she always said, "all our country celebrates my birthday every year with fireworks."

She was a devout believer as she surrendered her life to God and was baptized as a young teenager. Niney loved the Lord with all her being and shared the Gospel with everyone who crossed her path. Through all her suffering for many years, she always had a good word to share and a thankful heart. Her devotion and gratefulness were captivating and humbling and in the midst of her physical pain, she ministered and prayed for others to come to know the Lord.

Niney is survived by her husband of 29 years, David Arballo, her 3 stepchildren, Michelle (Daniel) Hopper, David Arballo, and Rebecca Arballo, 9 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren, 3 brothers, Manuel Jimenez, Ben Jimenez, Abel (Angel) Jimenez, 3 sisters, Martha (Ernie) Tafoya, Ernestina "India" (Oscar) Matancillas, Loida (Martin) Vasquez, sister-in-law Mary Jane Jimenez and many nephews and nieces.
