Adelfa San Felipe Flores a.k.a. Nanay Ading, age 94, of San Diego, California passed away on Sunday, January 7, 2024. Adelfa was born in Cardona, in the province of Rizal, Philippines on August 13, 1929, to the late Gorgonio Flores and Olivia San Felipe Flores. She was one of six children. Her siblings are Loreto, Jay, Gorgonio Jr., Mariano, and Eden.
Adelfa grew up in Cardona where she went to school and worked as a seamstress. She gave birth to her daughter Queenie. Adelfa immigrated to the United States on July 12, 1984, where she was reunited with her family that was residing in Hawaii at the time.
Due to Queenie’s husband Bay always being away on deployment, Adelfa quickly became the second mom in the family to help care for her first grandson Michael, and later her second grandson Jonathan. In 1989, Adelfa and her family relocated to San Diego, California where they have resided ever since. A decade later Adelfa proudly earned her U.S. citizenship in October 1999.
Adelfa was known for her elegant style, never leaving the house without donning one of her many beautiful dresses and wearing the deepest of red lipstick. She was "Nanay" to all, especially to her grandchildren, extended family, and close family friends. Adelfa was a devout Catholic whose love was unconditional and was loved by many.
Adelfa is survived by her daughter and son-in-law– Queenie and Bay Berromilla, two grandsons– Michael and Jonathan, and great-grandchildren– Faith Adelai and Joshua Psalms.
