Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many, Teresita Sumaylo Peralta passed away on June 11, 2021, in San Diego, California after her brave, 3-year fight against ALS. She was 63 years young.
She is survived by her spouse Federico Peralta, Jr of San Diego, CA, and her four children: Ma. Junoetia, Joseph Klaypeen, De Pragualin, and Eloi Alayle; her son-in-law Jovito Eugenio and her two grandchildren Ligaya and Dalisay.
Teresita was born on July 13, 1957, in Plaridel, Misamis Occidental, the Philippines to Andres and Norviosa, and grew up in Tipan, Misamis Occidental. She moved to the capital city of Manila in 1976 where she shortly met Federico. In 2001, the Peralta Family immigrated to the United States. Teresita was a devout woman of faith and a kind, light-hearted yet steadfast, resilient matriarch. She enjoyed karaoke (she had the sweetest voice), gardening (she had the greenest thumb), and cooking for others (she never let anyone go hungry).
She is under the care of El Camino Memorial - Sorrento Valley. A memorial mass will be held in her commemoration on June 19, 2021, at 2:00 pm PDT at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 8200 Gold Coast Dr, San Diego, CA, officiated by Father Victor Maristela. For those who are afar and interested in observing the memorial mass, it is planned to be live-streamed at https://www.goodshepherdparish.net/mass-streaming.
Her request to be laid to rest in the Philippines is being organized and details of a separate funeral service will be shared on this page and with her family and friends soon.
Your online condolences and photos, videos, & memories to share are greatly appreciated. She will be missed immensely.
