Everyone's life is the sum total of all of the people they have met, the things they have done, the places they have gone. Iluminada Garcia was a loved one, a friend, and someone special. To family and friends who knew her best, Iluminada will be remembered as a very exceptional person.
Iluminada Casipit Garcia was born on December 29, 1933 in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. She was the fourth child of Joaquin Casipit and Vicenta Patinga. She had three brothers, Asyong, Domingo, and Macario.
While everything a person does in life contributes to who they grow into, it is ultimatelly the same person who holds the most influence on the next generation. Iluminada was blessed with eight children: Solita, Luz, Danilo, Corazon, Mario✝, Teresita✝, Wilfredo✝, Reynaldo, and Rogelio Jr. Iluminada did her best to fulfill her children's needs, raising them in a positive and nurturing environment, and put her children through college.
Iluminada enjoyed selling salted fish at the market. She spent early mornings selling salted fish in different markets in Cavite. Places such as Mendez, Indang, Alfonso, and Silang. She was often told by her customers that the salted fish she sold tasted like chicken, giving her the nickname "Lasang Manok."
She was known by many as Lumen, Luming, and "Lasang Manok" at the market where she sold salted fish.
Iluminada passed away on January 24, 2023 in Temecula, California. She is survived by her six children, eighteen grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. She leaves many other family members and friends to cherish her memory.
