Mama loved being a Buckeye. She was an excellent cook, would crochet beautiful blankets, enjoyed the casino and playing Mah Jong. If you went to visit her, the tv was always on the Hallmark channel while she was working on a word search or reading Star magazine, with the aroma of Filipino food throughout the home.

She will be remembered most for her kindness and above all her love for her family and friends. Especially her husband, children, and grandchildren. We will all miss her dearly, including the family dogs, Theo and Jessie.
