Leonora A Belena

Leonora Belena was born on January 7, 1937, in the province of Abra, Philippines. The second of seven children, she grew up in a close-knit family where love, laughter, and resilience shaped her early years. From the beginning, Leonora's joyful spirit set her apart—she was always smiling, always moving, always ready to share a laugh.

In 1958, she married her lifelong partner, Arsenio Belena. Together they built a home rooted in love, raising five children with care, strength, and unwavering devotion. Leonora was a beacon of warmth in her family’s life—a nurturing mother and later, a loving grandmother to her 17 grandchildren.

She was known for her happiness and light-hearted soul. Leonora loved to dance. Whether it was a lively family gathering with karaoke or a quiet moment in the kitchen, she could often be found swaying to music, her face lit up with joy. Her energy was contagious, and her laughter made every room feel lighter.

On April 9, 2025, Leonora peacefully passed away, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and a family whose lives are forever touched by her love. She is now joyfully reunited with her beloved Arsenio in heaven, where their love story continues in eternal peace.

Leonora's life was a celebration of joy, family, and love. Her memory lives on in every smile she inspired and every dance her spirit still leads.
