Margie Rolon-Alvey, 60 went home to be with our Lord on October 5, 2020. She was born in Manhattan, NY to Alicia Rivera-Ortiz and the late Jose Rolon on November 6, 1959. She was a graduate of Eli Whitney Vocational High School, where she was certified and received her LPN degree. Serving her country with the U.S. Navy, she retired after 20 years of faithful service and subsequently worked for the U.S. Postal Service reaching the position of supervisor and later becoming an entrepreneur.
Margie was a woman of GOD who adored her family and an avid lover of many things; she loved traveling, scuba diving, riding horses, music, dancing, playing instruments, walking on the beach, golfing, fishing and love for animals. Her passion was as a collector of antiques, sea shells, vinyl records, stones and Funko Pops, but was always willing to share. Margie’s talents and achievements were many but being her mother’s caregiver for over 10 years was her biggest accomplishment of them all.
Left to cherish her memory are her mother Alicia Rivera-Ortiz, her sisters Evelyn Conde (Orbin), Migdalia Rolon, Beverly Robinson, her brothers Jose Rolon-Rivera (Veronica), Peiter Xay Ortiz-Brustein (Mitchell), Nephews Joshua (Adrienne), Angel (Angela), Joey (Talisa), Nieces Marta, Bianca (David), Angelina, Marissa; a host of great nephews, nieces, extended family members and dear friends.
