Quienes deseen expresar sus condolencias a la familia pueden hacerlo a través de www.caldwellparrish.com.
Ena nació el 25 de noviembre de 1967 en El Salvador, hija de Jose Alvarenga y Dora Suriano.
Durante la década de 1980, Ena dejó su querido país natal, El Salvador, y emigró a los Estados Unidos, estableciéndose en Boston, Massachusetts, donde pasó muchos años criando a su familia y construyendo una vida llena de amor. Hace aproximadamente seis años, durante la pandemia de COVID-19, se mudó a Perry, Iowa, para estar cerca de sus hermanas.
Ena fue una madre, abuela, hermana y amiga amorosa y dedicada, cuya mayor alegría en la vida siempre fue su familia. Le encantaba cocinar, limpiar y cuidar de quienes la rodeaban, encontrando siempre maneras de hacer que los demás se sintieran cómodos, queridos y especiales. Ya fuera preparando una comida, compartiendo momentos con sus hijos y nietos, o simplemente preguntando cómo estaban para asegurarse de que todo estuviera bien, el amor de Ena se reflejaba en cada una de sus acciones.
Tenía un espíritu naturalmente cariñoso y atento, y siempre anteponía las necesidades de los demás a las suyas. Ena era conocida por su bondad, generosidad y su inmenso corazón. Siempre se preocupaba por las personas que amaba, no por obligación, sino porque su felicidad y bienestar significaban muchísimo para ella. Su familia siempre ocupó el primer lugar en su vida, y sentía un gran orgullo al asegurarse de que todos estuvieran bien cuidados.
Su profunda fe fue una parte fundamental de su vida, y era miembro de la Iglesia Católica de San Patricio en Perry. A través de su fe y del amor que compartía tan generosamente, Ena deja un hermoso ejemplo de compasión, entrega y generosidad desinteresada. Por encima de todo, su familia lo significaba todo para ella, y el amor que brindó continuará viviendo en los corazones de todas las personas que tuvieron la dicha de conocerla.
Ena deja en vida a sus cuatro hijos: Erick (Melissa) Soriano, de Bouton, Iowa; Hamilton (Jacalin) Soriano, de Massachusetts; Jose (Amy) Soriano, de Rhode Island; y Sofia Martinez Soriano, de Perry, Iowa; sus cinco nietos: Sol, Hillary, Hamilton Jr., Holly y Mason Soriano; sus cinco hermanos: Mauricio Soriano, de El Salvador; Elba Soriano, de El Salvador; Deysi Soriano, de Perry; Margarita Soriano (Joel Mulatillo), de El Salvador; y Dora (Mino) Guardado, de Perry; además de numerosos sobrinos, sobrinas, otros familiares y queridos amigos.
Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Jose Alvarenga y Dora Suriano.

Ena was born on November 25, 1967, in El Salvador, the daughter of Jose Alvarenga and Dora Suriano.
In the 1980s, Ena left her homeland of El Salvador and made her way to the United States, settling in Boston, Massachusetts, where she spent many years raising her family and building a life filled with love. Approximately six years ago, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she moved to Perry, Iowa, to be with her sisters.
Ena was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose greatest joy in life was her family. She loved cooking, cleaning, and caring for those around her, always finding ways to make others feel comfortable and loved. Whether she was preparing a meal, spending time with her children and grandchildren, or simply checking in to make sure everyone was doing well, Ena's love was evident in everything she did.
She had a naturally caring and thoughtful spirit and was always putting the needs of others before her own. Ena was known for her kindness, generosity, and incredibly big heart. She worried about those she loved, not because she had to, but because their happiness and well-being meant so much to her. Her family always came first, and she took great pride in making sure they were cared for.
Her strong faith was an important part of her life, and she was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Perry. Through her faith and the love she shared so freely, Ena leaves behind a beautiful example of compassion, devotion, and selflessness. Above all else, family meant everything to Ena, and the love she gave will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Ena is survived by her four children: Erick (Melissa) Soriano of Bouton, Iowa, Hamilton (Jacalin) Soriano of Massachusetts, Jose (Amy) Soriano of Rhode Island, and Sofia Martinez Soriano of Perry, Iowa; five grandchildren: Sol, Hillary, Hamilton Jr., Holly, and Mason Soriano; five siblings: Mauricio Soriano of El Salvador, Elba Soriano of El Salvador, Deysi Soriano of Perry, Margarita Soriano (Joel Mulatillo) of El Salvador, and Dora (Mino) Guardado of Perry; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jose Alvarenga and Dora Suriano.
