The light of carmen sevilla, consumed by Alzheimer’s, went out forever on Tuesday, June 27. She was cremated a day later, in the Pozuelo de Alarcón funeral home and in the strictest privacy, as her only son, Augusto Algueró Jr., wished.
The son of the former presenter of neighborhood cinema He received criticism for not opening an ardent chapel like his mother, as other great figures of Spanish culture have had such as Rocio Jurado, Lola Flores o sarah montiel.
In this way, only the most intimate attended: “Very few, only and exclusively direct family, blood ties to my mother, except for two people who have taken care of my mother in recent years, who are Angelines and Alejandra “Augusto himself confessed. He also defended himself from criticism for not paying him a public tribute in a big way: “If he had set up a circus there would also have been criticism,” he lamented.
Rappel He already announced that he did want to organize a funeral mass in his honor so that all his friends and admirers would have the opportunity to pay tribute to one of the greatest figures our country has produced. “I am going to summon all the artists and I am going to make a funeral for a friend of mine because I feel like it. I will never forget her, she was an endearing woman, she has shown me to be a friend for many years and she has been a wonderful woman “, said.
His words were interpreted as a challenge to Augusto Algueró, but nothing could be further from the truth because the funeral that Rappel is preparing for the artist has the approval of Augusto himself. Thus, the son of ‘the bride of Spain’ has not put any obstacles to the seer for this tribute to be held. The farewell will take place on Thursday, July 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the Church of San Antón in Madrid, as Rappel himself has confirmed.
Carmen left as discreetly as she has lived in recent years. In 2009 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, in 2010 she withdrew from public life and in 2015 she entered a nursing home, where she has remained until the end of her days. On Sunday, June 25, she was transferred to the Jiménez Díaz Foundation after a worsening in her health. Two days later, her light went out forever, giving way to the legend.
