Ofelia Consunji

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Ofelia Sunglao Consunji on January 10, 2023, in Jacksonville, Florida. Ofelia was surrounded by her five children during her brief illness. Ofelia was 88 years old and was well known for her fierce love of her children, devotion to her faith, and delicious cooking.

She is survived by her sister, Uring Sunglao; her children Joe (Mel), Rey (Jenifer), Edith (Brian Moore), Nelson, Edwin (Becky); and seven grandchildren. A lifelong and devoted Catholic, Ofelia was a member of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church.
