Teresita Madrelijo Long

November 5, 1943 – April 13, 2026

With love and gratitude for a life beautifully lived, we remember Teresita Long, who passed away on April 13, 2026, in Arkansas. Born on November 5, 1943, in the Philippines, Teresita lived a life rooted in faith, family, and kindness.

She was baptized at the Parish of Our Lady of the Pillar, Ma-ao Catholic Church in Ma-ao, Bago City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, on November 29, 1944, and remained a devoted woman of faith throughout her life, including as a cherished member of St. John’s.

Teresita was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Endaliso and Sofia Villasis.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 39 years, Donald Long; her three devoted sons, Francisco Wadkins (Tanya), Paul Wadkins (Laurie), and Joe Wadkins; 14 grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren. Her love, warmth, and gentle spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

May she rest in eternal peace and remain forever in our loving memories.
