Aurora Ducusin

Aurora Ducusin was born on March 14, 1928 in Caba, La Union, Philippines to Evaresto and Andrea Dugena. She passed away peacefully on August 16, 2021. Aurora is survived by her eight children (Ronald, Eduardo, Venus, Eliseo, Walter, Samuel, Loida, Femy); her 20 grandchildren (Eleanor, Michelle, Melissa, Joseph, Michael, Vanessa, Nasser, Joshua, Maribell, Xerses, Bryan, Veronica, Immanuel, Teresa, Rachel, AJ, Crystal, Reyna, Arianna, Alyssa); 17 great grandchildren (Lauren, Jasmine, Hazel, Jayden James, David, Mark, Jared, Jairus, Sophia, Brandon, Raphael, Devin, Demarie, Alianna, Jayden, Xerses Jr., Malakai); one great great grandchild Leila; a host of nieces, nephews, and other relatives; brother Toreno, sister Rosal, brother Elpedio, and step-sister Marina. She is predeceased by her husband Eutiquio, daughter Myrna, sister Felicidad, and sister Patrocenia.

Aurora and Eutiquio united in marriage on November 16, 1949. To this union, they were blessed with nine children. With hopes and dreams for a better life for their family, Eutiquio began this journey by immigrating to the United States in 1969. Aurora then joined him in 1972 along with some of their children. The other children joined the rest of the family later. Over the course of 19 years Aurora and Eutiquio worked hard to provide for their children. Throughout her life from Richgrove, Delano, and San Jose CA, she made many long-lasting friendships.

Some of her favorite past times were cooking filipino foods and baking filipino desserts, watching boxing and tv game shows, shopping at Goodwills, flea markets, and garage sales, going to the Casinos, attending Church, but most of all spending time with her family.

Aurora will be remembered as a selfless mother who loved everyone unconditionally. She had a great sense of humor and a beautiful smile. Caring and thoughtful, she always sacrificed her needs for the good of her family by frequently sending clothes and essentials back to her homeland in the Philippines. Her inner strength is a divine gift that was undeniable especially during her last year. Her life was full of many blessings and her memories will be treasured forever in our hearts.
