Violeta Pacheco Sunga, age 89, passed away on September 27, 2026. Born on September 9, 1937, in Cavite City, Philippines, she lived a life marked by steady grace, deep faith, and a generous spirit that touched those around her. She was a beloved presence—kind-hearted, patient, and quietly inspirational in the way she cared for others and met each day with devotion and purpose.
Violeta was married for fifty years to Rodolfo Sunga, and together they built a family grounded in love and enduring commitment. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Jennifer, Daisy and Eric and by her grandchildren, Brennan and Samantha. Her life was a testament to the strength found in family, and to the lasting comfort of being faithfully present for the people she cherished.
A woman of many gentle joys, Violeta found peace in gardening and in the companionship of books. She also loved to write, expressing her thoughtful heart through words. Above all, she remained devoted to her Catholic faith, drawing strength from it and offering that steadiness to others through her example.
Violeta was also involved with her church and the Filipino community, giving of herself with generosity and sincere care. Her presence will be remembered with gratitude by all who had the privilege of knowing her, and her legacy will continue in the lives she shaped through love, faithfulness, and quiet perseverance.
