She retired in 2003 and served in the Couples for Christ program with her husband as well as in the Handmaids of the Lord. She loved singing, dancing, playing the piano, and watching Filipino channels. She also attended the daily mass when possible. Otherwise, she would attend the daily mass via EWTN. A Marian devotee, she would pray the rosary daily.

Lovy was a beautiful person inside and out. She was generous, kind, sweet, charming, and her smile would light up the whole room. She had an enormous heart and cared deeply for the people around her. She impacted so many lives and will be forever missed.
