San Jose, CA — The San Jose community is grieving the loss of Monica Cervantes, who passed away on August 11, 2025. Known for her radiant smile, kind heart, and ability to brighten even the busiest of days, Monica spent more than two decades serving at the local post office, where she became not just an employee, but a trusted friend to countless residents.

Her laughter, warmth, and willingness to go above and beyond for others left a lasting imprint on the neighborhood she loved so deeply. Customers often left with more than their mail — they carried the comfort of her kindness and the memory of her genuine care.

Monica’s family is in the process of organizing a memorial service to celebrate her life and invite the community to join in honoring her legacy. As they navigate this time of grief, they welcome contributions toward funeral expenses and ask for continued thoughts, prayers, and support from all who knew her.

Her absence will be deeply felt in every familiar corner of the post office and in the hearts of those whose lives she touched with simple yet extraordinary acts of compassion.
