Agathonica "Agie" Santos, 81, San Diego, CA, was called to her eternal heavenly home on February 1, 2023. She was born to Franciso and Maria Borja on Palau and then relocated to Guam as a young child.
Agie was a very devout woman who cherished her relationship with God. She was an active long-standing member of St. Rita's Catholic Church, a member of the Comfort and Healing Group and volunteered where she was needed.
Her family and extended family meant everything to her. She enjoyed having her children and grandchildren around, and it wasn't uncommon for her to open her home to her many siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews, as well. During these times she would be found in the kitchen preparing one of her signature Chamorro recipes, or everyone's favorite, her delicious cinnamon rolls.
In addition to being an amazing cook, Agie enjoyed tending to her beautiful flowers and plants. Playing and beating everyone in her favorite card game Bleach and dancing. Line dancing, whether it was in her kitchen or at the Guam's club, brought her joy.
She will be remembered for all these things, but mostly for her strength, class, devotion to her beloved family and never ending energy.
She will be very sadly missed as a pillar of guidance and love by her husband, children, grandchildren and siblings.
Agie is survived by her adoring husband, Kelley P. Santos, San Diego, sons Kelley Paul (Reina) Santos, College Station, TX and Duane (Denise) Santos, Mount Pleasant, WI, a daughter Mary Jolynn Santos, San Diego, CA.
