Florfina was born to Felix and Romana Delacruz in Angadanan Isabela Philippines on September 22, 1950. In 1972, she graduated from St. Catherine’s General Hospital School of Nursing and migrated to the United States (Gulfport, Mississippi). In 1973, she met and married Joe Ambegia and they moved to Milton, Florida.
In 1974, they had their first child, Crisanto. In 1975, they moved to San Diego, California and later had their second child, Sophia, in 1977. It was in that same year that Florfina began working at Knollwood Convalescent. After becoming a registered nurse, she transferred to Sharp Cabrillo Hospital and later Sharp Memorial Hospital, where she retired in 2018. She had a caring and loving heart and was known for placing the needs of others well above her own.
Florfina is reunited with her son, Crisanto, along with other family members and dear friends. She leaves behind her husband, Joe Ambegia; her daughter Sophia Valenzuela; her son-in-law Michael; and her grandchildren Edmon and Jazmine.
