Marisol Gayanilo Baluyot

by her husband, Antonio Baluyot, her son, Richard Baluyot, her daughter, Christine Delrosario,

and her five grandchildren, Max, Alex, Xavier, Elise, and Aiden.

Marisol was a beloved wife, mother and grandmother, who lived for her family. She was born in

the Philippines on May 13, 1946 and came to the United States in 1968. She first lived in

Chicago with her friends, and later met her husband, Tony, in San Diego while touring California.

They got married and had their first child, Richard, in 1973. They then moved to Jacksonville,

FL, where she had her second child, Christine, in 1982. While in Jacksonville, she established

her career as a nutrition and food service manager at Memorial Hospital. She held her tenure

with Memorial for 29 years before she retired at the age of 66.

She was active in the Filipino community, where she served as president of the Filipino Civic

and Cultural Association from 2006 - 2011, and received a community service award from the

Filipino American Community Council of Northeast Florida. She volunteered for three successful

medical missions in the Philippines, and also volunteered at the St. Vincent De Paul thrift store.

Family and friends will always remember Mary for her kind heart, strong religious beliefs,

leadership, and willingness to help others in any way she could. Her memory will carry on

through all the lives she’s touched during her lifetime.
