Migdalia Veronica Milton, affectionately known as “Mickey Torres,” passed away peacefully in her Manhattan home on December 29th at 6:18 p.m., following a courageous, decade-long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Born on May 1st in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, Mickey emigrated to New York City as a child. She spent many years residing in the Bronx before moving to New Jersey to raise her family. In her later years, she returned to New York City.

Mickey is survived by her children, Dennis A. Milton and Derek C. Milton; her siblings, Maria Torres, Carmen Torres, and David Torres; her three grandchildren, Kristen Blair, Amanda Milton, Brittany Milton, and Derek Anthony Milton; and five great-grandchildren, Travis Jackson, Zakary Jackson, Caelen Hughes, Adyson Milton, and Grady Miller. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dolores Padilla and Luis Torres, and her siblings, Dora Cudemo and Luis Torres Jr.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to Mickey’s care over the past ten years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, NYC Chapter (alz.org/nyc).
