She grew up in Angeles City, Philippines, where she would later meet her husband. They fell in love and extended their bonds of friendship to include the vows of marriage in 1981. They then made a family and a home, adding children and settling in Wichita Falls TX. She worked at WSC for almost 3 decades and made countless friendships with not only co-workers but also airmen she served. She also looked forward to opening her home for Filipino airmen stationed here for the holidays so they could enjoy their traditional cuisine far from home! She was happiest surrounded by the laughter of her children and grandchildren! She loved being in the outdoors and enjoying fishing and camping with family. She enjoyed girl trips to the casino and shopping with her grand-girls!  She is missed dearly by all. As she said, "It's not goodbye, I'll see you later!"
