With profound sadness we announce the passing of Maria Anita Umbal Biason on June 24, 2020 in Houston, Texas. Annie was born on October 22, 1955 in Manila, Philippines to Rafael and Laura Umbal. Annie received her graduate nursing degree at Ortanez University in 1977. Shortly after graduating, she moved to Chicago in the United States. In 1980 she relocated to Baytown, Texas, where she practiced nursing for 38 years at Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital until her retirement in 2018. In March 1982, Annie married the love of her life Jaime Biason, and later that year, their daughter, Tiffany, was born.
Annie was a compassionate nurse who was well respected by her colleagues and patients. She had a passion for traveling and visited countries throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia. She loved music, dancing, and reading. She was known for her generous and kind heart, and particularly for her distinct laugh.
