Idalia Pineda

August 15, 1956 — January 20, 2026

Idalia Pineda, 69, of Newton, passed away on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, surrounded by love.

Born on August 15, 1956, in Mexico, Idalia was a faithful servant of God, devoted wife, loving mother, fiercely proud grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a force to be reckoned with, strong-willed and resilient. She carried a softness that showed itself through her deep love and care for those closest to her.

Her grandchildren were the center of her world, loved as if they were her own children, and her great-grandchildren brought her immeasurable joy and light. Family was everything to Idalia, and she showed that love through her actions, protection, and devotion.

A loyal follower of her faith, Idalia was a devoted member of the Hickory Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, where she served wholeheartedly and lived out her beliefs through service and commitment.

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Waldo Cervantes; her children, Norma Cervantes and husband Sergio Rodriguez, Dalia Vega, Ana Cervantes, Waldo Cervantes, Jr. and wife Danielle Cervantes, Deedge Cervantes and husband Jerry Sarath; her sisters, Mirtha Pineda Ortuño and Dellanira Pineda Ortuño; her grandchildren, Vanessa Weber, Selina Diaz, Victor Damian Vega, Penelope Cervantes, Jackson Cervantes, and Phoenix Cervantes; and her great-grandchildren, Francesca Diaz, Thiago Diaz, Ignatius Diaz, and Tali Diaz.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Ana Maria Cervantes; her parents, Albino Pineda and Dominga Ortuño; her brother, Wblester Pineda Ortuño; and her grandsons, De’Andre Castro, Vincent Vega, and Victor Vega.
