Felicitas Duclayan's Obituary
Our Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother Felicitas Legaspi Duclayan passed away January 28, 2021 with her family by her side. The oldest daughter of the late Marcelino Legaspi and the late Teodora Ajolo, Felicitas was born on August 6, 1940 in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines. She graduated from Bohol Central College in Manila, Philippines and shortly after married the late Ponciano Duclayan on January 17, 1960, fulfilled her dream of immigrating to America - Honolulu, Hawaii, where they built a prosperous life together and raised their family for 36 years. She pursued trade work as a seamstress, briefly ventured as a business owner, but ultimately found stability with the State of Hawaii, where she retired after 20+ years of service and soon after relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada to be closer to her children and grandchildren.
