Edengrace Mendiola's Obituary
Edengrace Dugay Mendiola, 89, passed away on July 3, 2024, surrounded by her loving family in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Born on May 4, 1935, in Ilocos Norte, Philippines, she touched the lives of many with her warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit. Known affectionately as “Mommy Eden,” Edengrace was a beacon of love and support. She raised her children—Jaime (Marian), Edwin, Jesus, Gener, Jacqueline (Arnulfo), Jennifer, Jonathan, Jerry (Dave), Joy (Joy), and Jo-Ann—with unwavering devotion. Her nurturing heart extended beyond her immediate family; she was a mother figure to everyone she met. Edengrace’s love for the color yellow brightened the lives of those around her. Her 89th birthday was a celebration of a life well-lived. For seven unforgettable days, she sailed on a luxury cruise ship bound for Victoria, British Columbia, surrounded by family and friends. In her lifetime, she travelled to more than 20 counties with her family and friends creating everlasting memories: the Vatican and Paris among her favorite place to visit. Her legacy of love and kindness will forever remain in our hearts. She cherished family gatherings, where laughter and stories flowed freely. Her legacy lives on through her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who carry forward her love, wisdom, and compassion. In addition to her children, Edengrace is survived by her sister Josephine. She is predeceased by her daughter Rowena and Rose. As we bid farewell to this remarkable woman, we celebrate the beautiful tapestry of memories she wove into our lives. Rest in peace, Mommy Eden. Your love will forever bloom in our hearts
