Chastity Ramona Britto-Saliba

Chastity “Chas” Ramona Britto Saliba was a 2nd generation Nuyorican, born on June 16th, 1976 in Brooklyn, NY to John D. "Charlie" Britto & Elizabeth "Liz" Britto of Puerto Rican descent.

Chastity grew up in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, with her sister Cherisse and her many cousins. She was always surrounded by family & friends and lived her life that way, always bringing everyone together for gatherings full of fun.

Chastity's presence was larger than life, when she entered a room, she radiated light & love; She had a big beautiful smile and her laugh was infectious. She was a kind, caring, loving, forgiving person, who everyone gravitated to.

She enjoyed cooking and baking for anyone & everyone. It brought her so much joy, when we raved over her delicious dishes. She was protective of her recipes, but that's how she made sure you'd look forward to the next time she made one of her amazing meals or delicious cheesecakes or flancochos.

Chastity looooved to dance, she and her sister-cousins Shawndesse & Monica discovered the club scene and together made magical memories dancing the night away on the dance floors of many NYC nightclubs. They shared much of their childhood together and loved eachother immensely.

Chastity and her mom moved to the East New York area of Brooklyn in the 90s. Where she attended Clara Barton High School.

She joined the youth community center at Starrett City, where she met her best friend Jennifer.

“Best friends and sisters for 33 years. We were always there for each other especially when we needed each other the most. We laughed together, went out dancing together, raised our kids together, and I witness the birth of her two beautiful sons. There was nothing that we wouldn’t do for one another, and there was so much more that we didn’t get to accomplish together. My sister from another mother, you are truly missed, but I see you in your boys, and your spirit lives on through them. I promise to never go too far, without having them near me.” Jenn

At the young age of 21 Chastity met Nader and a beautiful love story began. Chastity relocated from Brooklyn, NY to Hackensack, New Jersey and they began to build their life surrounded by their circle of friends who became family. They made a decade worth of memories, travelling, partying, and being there for one another through the experiences of young adult life.

On January 8th, 2010, Nader & Chastity became Mr & Mrs Saliba, so began their new journey as a family.

On July 23, 2010 their son Brandon was born, he was the answer to Chastity's prayers. She wanted to be a mom, she was ready for the next chapter, and what an amazing mom she was.

On October 19th, 2013, their son Mason was born. Another prayer answered, Chastity always wanted 2 children so they would grow up together and have eachothers back.

Mason was born with his mom's love of cooking, and she loved sharing her kitchen with him.

Chastity made every day of her children's lives a special event, filled with laughter, love and delicious food. They were her entire world and their happiness and well being was what mattered most to her.

Chastity was a people person, she had a big personality and enjoyed making people happy. She discovered her niche and became a Licensed Real Estate Agent in 2018 and worked for .Halo Realty.

In July 2022, Chastity at the advice of her cousin and niece requested an MRI of her brain, she was experiencing symptoms that were not common for her. The news was devastating, she had a tumor, it was malignant and she needed emergency surgery.
Chastity remained optimistic, she was the most positive person anyone knew. She smiled, laughed and fought for her life. She wanted to live, and even in the midst of her battle, she put on a brave face and put it in God's hands.

On September 28th, 2023, our beautiful Chastity transitioned to the spirit realm. The impact that her existence in this world had on her family, her friends and anyone she came into contact with was profound. She embodied love, light and joy and it permeated your soul upon contact.
