Benedicta A Valdez

Benedicta Valdez was born in the Philippines and lived a life defined by faith, compassion, service, and devotion to her family. For more than 40 years, she dedicated herself to caring for others as a Registered Charge Nurse, touching countless lives through her skill, kindness, and unwavering commitment to her patients and colleagues.

Above all, Benedicta’s greatest pride and joy was her family.
