Carmen Feliciano

Carmen (Tati) H. Feliciano, 83, of Coatesville, PA, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 18, 2025, at Paoli Memorial Hospital. Born in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, she was the beloved daughter of the late Mariano Charriez and Juana Marrero.

Carmen was the matriarch of her family—She was a faithful woman of deep strength and wisdom. A long-time resident of Coatesville, she dedicated her life to her family as a nurturing mother, cherished grandmother, and proud great-grandmother. She had a heart for serving others and always opened her home—and her heart—to those in need. She was a strong and spirited woman whose resilience was unmatchable. She was the glue that held her family together. Many times it was said she had more lives than a cat because she overcame so many obstacles throughout her life. Her strength and faith left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

She had a magnetic personality—both a social butterfly and deeply wise. She was known for her thriftiness, stubborn streak, and heart of gold. Carmen never met a stranger, and she always had a seat at her table or steps for one more. Whether through her legendary home-cooked meals, her radiant love for dancing, or her green thumb—especially with her cherished roses and orchids—she shared joy in every season of life. She also loved puzzles, and a Saturday stroll for a good deal at some yardsales.

She is survived by her three children: Dewey R. Barlow and wife Holly of Lancaster, PA; Brenda Herrera and husband Manuel of Coatesville, PA; and Marybeth Williams and husband Bryan of Cape Coral, FL; along with 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by several beloved siblings and was preceded in death by two sons, John A. Barlow and Richard A. Barlow; one great-grandchild; two brothers; and one sister.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Wilde Funeral Home, Parkesburg, PA. Online condolences may be shared at www.wildefuneralhome.com.

Viewing service for the public will be on Friday, July 18, 2025 from 11:00-12:30pm followed by Immediate Family Only from 12:30-1:00pm.

A "Celebration of Life" is being planned and will be announced at a later date.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
