Obituary of Dolores Jane Freyre

Dolores Jane Pupo Walker (Ita), of Davie, FL passed away at age 93 on June 5th, 2022 in Ft, Lauderdale. Ita’s ashes will be scattered at Hallandale Beach during a ceremony to be planned by her sons. Ita was born in Athens, Tennessee to Hector Pupo and Mae Walker on April 4th, 1929. She was raised in Cuba and attended Colegio los Amigos in Holguin, Cuba. She fled Cuba at the age of thirty one with her four young sons and settled in North Miami, where she accepted into her home many family members and friends seeking asylum from Cuba. Ita worked a number of jobs to support her family, first as a cleaner in hospitality immediately following her arrival from Cuba, and later as a lab tech at Coulter. Ita eventually retired to a beachfront apartment on Hallandale Beach, where she spent the happiest years of her life with friends and family at the beach. She enjoyed going to the casino, playing canasta and bingo, and gardening. Ita was also an avid traveler and enjoyed visiting family and friends around the country and abroad. Most importantly, Ita was pure love. She lived for her sons, grandchildren, and other family and friends, and was their North Star – a guiding light to all of them through her immense wisdom, grace, empathy, and love. Ita is survived by her four children (Raul, Julio, Jorge, Carlos) and their families. Ita asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in her memory.
