Alexandra Riofrio, 79, of White Plains, NY, passed away March 3, 2019. Alexandra was born December 31, 1939 in Ambato, Ecuador. Alexandra was a homemaker and is survived by her husband Felix Riofrio, their four children; Elizabeth Morano (Pat) of New Rochelle, NY, Edward Riofrio (Karen) of Danbury, CT, Richard Riofrio (Michele) of Brewster, NY, and Joseph Riofrio (Jamie) of Southington, CT, eleven grandchildren; Gianna and Giastina Morano; Mackenzie, Shelby and Alex Riofrio; Rebecca, Julia, and Ella Riofrio; and Sienna and Jacob Riofrio, and Irelynn Janell.

As the matriarch of the Riofrio family, you could not be a part of her life without saying, “She was like a mom to me.” Ale was the first in her family to leave her beloved country of Ecuador with $20 in her pocket to give her family the opportunities that the United States had to offer. One by one, Ale brought her family here to White Plains. Ale measured her own success by watching the successes of her family.

Ale was an active member of the Danbury Senior Center in Danbury, CT.
