Augusta, GA – September 28, 2015, will forever mark the day that Augusta and the world lost a beautiful soul. Patricia Elena Cuartas-Villegas surrounded by loving family and friends, made her transition into God’s loving arms after two and half years of a learning experience with colon cancer. Elena was a feisty young woman with sparkling eyes and mischievous smile, who was loved by many here and abroad. She was incredibly intelligent, and was admired and respected by all who worked with her over the years at the Department of Energy at the Savannah River Site as of June 2009. There she led the development of the DOE-SR Risk Management Plan and annual updates. She worked alongside contractor and DOE department managers cultivating a great deal of respect for her impressive efforts, Project Time & Cost and MWH Global both in Atlanta. Her Engineer brain kept her in charge, and she was born to lead! Coworkers frequently sought her counsel and were grateful for the quality she brought to every project. Born in Fort Sam Houston, Texas on March 14, 1970, she grew up globally with her military family. Elena attained her Engineering degree from Missouri University of Science and Technology. Elena loved to travel and spend time with her beloved family, her father Dr. Francisco Ignacio Cuartas H.(now deceased), her mother Ariana Villegas, her brother Juan Francisco and Andrea Cepeda and her dogs, Kahlua and Blizzard. She had a special gift of caring for others even above herself, and carefully planned surprises for those around her. Her two and half years experience with colon cancer was difficult, but she never allowed her spirits to sag far, shoring up those around her, even until the end. Elena positively touched many lives, and her indomitable spirit is a legacy that will stay with us always. Elena was inquisitive and spiritual. She leaves behind many precious family members and friends, including aunts, uncles and her cousins in Colombia, South America.

Visitation will be at her home 2529 Walton Way, Augusta Georgia 30904 on Wednesday September 30th from 6:00 to 9:00pm. A celebration of her life will be held at St. Mary's on the Hill Thursday, October 1st at 4:00 pm
