Segunda Abinsay Abarquez

Segunda (Onda) came to California to join her husband Sammy in 1956 settling in Delano ,CA where they raised their two sons. Segunda worked for Frank Lucich Farms and Cambridge Filter Corporation, where she retired. She worshiped at Our Lady of Guadalupe church every Sunday. She loved to work in garden growing her own vegetables that she used to cook with everyday as well as sharing them with her family and friends. Segunda enjoyed visits from her family and friends regularly. She was involved in many Filipino organizations within her community and recently celebrated her 100th birthday. God called her home on August 20th where she was reunited with her husband and family. Segunda lived a long happy life, but she will be greatly missed.
