August 4, 1940 – November 24, 2022
Carmen Edilia Prato Silva, 82, Caracas, Venezuela, passed away on Thursday, November 24, 2022. She was born on August 4, 1940, in Guasipati, Venezuela, to Carlos Leon Prato Martinez and Eilia Antonia Silva de Padilla.
Carmen received her bachelor’s degree in administration. She retired from INAVI.
As a favorite hobby, Carmen enjoyed watching several different sports; however, tennis was her favorite, especially seeing Roger Federer win matches and feeling sad when he retired. Carmen could follow a tennis game point-by-point on her cell phone when she could not watch it on TV. She also enjoyed watching soccer (although she could not watch any game in the World Cup 2022), Formula 1, and many other sports. Other interests included knitting scarves, hats, and blankets for her grandchildren. She liked working puzzles, playing cards with grandchildren, and listening to music on her cell phone.
Carmen was preceded in death by Francisco Conde, Carlos Leon Prato, Victor Padilla, Carlos Francisco Prato, and her mother, Edilia Antonia Silva de Prato.
Survivors include her daughter, Luisa Mercedes, and son-in-law, Luis Alfredo; grandchildren, Oriana Sofia, Gabriel Alejandro, and Victoria Cecilia; siblings, Alcira, Edelmira, Norelsa, Aracelis, Belen, Gisela, Eleana, Carmen F., Leticia, Victor Alfonso, and Carlos Arturo; brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, godsons, goddaughters, and other family members.
A Memorial Mass will take place at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, 14598 Oak Ridge Road, Carmel.
