Obituary of Alfredo Salazar

Alfredo Salazar, 88, of East Hartford, passed peacefully on Sunday, May 2, 2021 at St. Francis Hospital surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Cabana, Ancash, Peru and raised in Lima, Peru, Alfredo was the son of the late Zenon Salazar and Maria Luisa Sifuentes. A family patriarch, Alfredo immigrated to the United States in 1967 to provide a better life for his family. With the new opportunities this country provided, he became a licensed electrician and worked for Pratt and Whitney and the May Department Stores Company until his retirement. Alfredo was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, earning his Fourth Degree. He was active in the community and contributed to civic duties in Club Peru, Hermandad del Senor del Los Milagros, and El Comité del ApóstolSantiago, as well as in the Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity.

He was a beloved husband of 63 years to his devoted wife Rosa (Hidalgo) Salazar. In addition to his wife, Alfredo is survived by his children; his son Frank Salazar and his wife Lynn of San Antonio, TX, and his daughter Myriam Naucapoma and her husband Adolfo of East Hartford. He was an endearing grandfather to his grandchildren; Aaron Salazar, Sarah Coulombe, Ashley Naucapoma, and Pilar Stacey and Moesha Aguilar, and great-grandfather to Ethan Salazar, Taylor and Rose Coulombe, Alexis Smith, and Zelda and Madeline Salazar.
