One of four daughters, Joji was born on February 4, 1941 to the late Jose and Luz Custodio.
Joji attended The University of Santo Thomas in the Philippines. She completed her medical residency at the Cleveland Clinic. Joji accomplished so much in her life and loved her career as an anesthesiologist. Those that knew and loved her, will remember that she was a devout Catholic and an avid collector of Asian artifacts. She was an animal lover, especially when it came to cats. Thanks to her daughter bringing home the very first stray, Joji’s menagerie at one time increased to 9 cats. She is leaving behind 2 of her beloved cats, Jorge and Princess.
She is survived by her sisters Lourdes Fiscus, Clarisse Suarte, Maria Christilles (Richard), son Dennis Eligado (Nancy) and daughter Monica Stegelman (Mark) and grandchildren Chris, Brandon, Nick, Parker, Jack, Max and Campbell, and great-grandson, Aiden. She is preceded in death by long time partner, Thomas Campbell.
