Jomarie Monsorno

Jomarie was fiercely devoted to her family, and her children and grandchildren were the sunshine and cherished blessings in her life. She honored and treasured holiday traditions, and her greatest legacy is the strong and loving family she leaves behind. She took great joy in teaching Tai Chi for Health and was deeply loved and respected by her students. She loved the simple and beautiful things in life, like the ocean and her garden, especially enjoying the birds that visited her feeder. She was also an astute business owner, an articulate and passionate believer in principals, and a generous and compassionate patron and volunteer who instilled a sense of duty and volunteerism in her children.

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
