She was a dedicated member of St. Patrick’s Church in Union Lake for over 40 years. She loved spending time with her family, children and grandchildren. They brought her joy and she was proud of each of them.

Serving a home cooked meal to anyone who came to her home brought her much joy. She added her own little twist to her dishes so that they were just a little bit better than last time. Some of our favorites were her egg rolls, fried bananas, pancit, adobo and shrimp. And her Banana and Carrot Cake was amazing!

In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening. Every year she added more garden real estate. She took pride in the fruit of her labor and loved to share it with family and friends. Creating a peaceful and beautiful space to relax in. Playing cards with her friends and sharing a meal brought many laughs, tears and more change! She also loved to traveling and sharing her stories of the places and the adventures she went on. Whether it was with friends or family, she enjoyed discovering the beauty that each location had to offer. Especially if she could shop! She especially treasured the time spent was able to spend with her family throughout the country and in the Philippines.

A majority of her time was working at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and Woodward Hills Health & Rehabilitation Center, as well as various other locations including Urgent Care and Home care.
