Lea Edejer Ednalino

Lea Edejer Ednalino, age 87, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2026, in her home in Everett, Washington, surrounded by loved ones.

She was born on April 3, 1938, in Pamibian, Zambales, Philippines, to Juliana Elardo and Seferino Edejer.

Lea lived a life centered on love, care, and family. She was known for her joyful sense of humor and loved to joke and laugh with those around her.

She had a special talent for doing hair and found great pride in caring for others through her work and her home. A gifted cook, Lea expressed her love through food— preparing meals for her family and also cooking professionally, including for United Airlines.

Lea found her greatest happiness surrounded by family, bonding over food in a lively home filled with singing, conversation, and laughter. She loved hearing the sounds of a home full of life.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Mariano Edora Ednalino; and her beloved son, Ricky Edejer Ednalino, her eldest.

Lea is survived by her loving children: Florence Ednalino Villanueva, Rose Marie Ednalino Javier, Imelda Ednalino Ebbay, Norma Ednalino Fong, and Marivic Ednalino Pinzon. She was a proud grandmother to 16 grandchildren and a cherished great-grandmother to 23 great-grandchildren, all of whom carry forward her love, warmth, and spirit.

Lea will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her. Lea fought the good fight, finished her race, and kept the faith as a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, Church of Christ. Though her earthly journey has ended, her love and legacy will live on forever.
