Delmis Salgado Benites, age 66 years, of Flemington, NJ, returned to the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at Hunterdon Medical Center, Raritan Township, NJ.

Born in El-Progreso, Honduras, March 16, 1955, daughter of the late Nestor Salgado and Adelina Benites, Delmis was raised in Tela, Honduras and emigrated to the United States in 1998.

A homemaker in her early years, she would work extremely hard upon moving to the United States, most recently being employed by Kohls in Flemington, NJ.

With a faith that could move mountains, Delmis was a loving and devoted mami, abuela, bisabulea, hermana, and true friend to all she met. Her family was her world, and all of her hard work and efforts revolved around making them happy and successful. She instilled in her children and entire family a sense of optimism that reminded them daily that the light of God is always shining, no matter what clouds may appear.

Loving nature and animals with a passion, she raised chickens and greatly enjoyed gardening. From vegetables to flowers, Delmis was truly a master gardener.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Juan Pablo Hernandez.

Surviving are her daughter, Dilcia ‘Betty” Mejia; two sons, Carlos Roberto Mejia and Milton Alexander Mejia; two sisters, Luz Benites and Irma Benites; two brothers, Aurelio Bueso and Jose Bueso; her grandchildren, Marbella, Jaimie, Andriss, Alexa and Alexander; her great grandchildren, Jannessy, Thiago, Landon, and Skye; several nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family; and many dear friends.

Delmis will lie in repose on Sunday, October 10, 2021 from 11:30 a.m. -1:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ.

Funeral services will take place on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. immediately following the visitation.

Following the service, Delmis will be laid to rest at Prospect Hill Cemetery, 69 Capner Street, Flemington, NJ.
