Josefina was born in Masbate, Philippines, the 7th of 7 siblings. She centered her life around her faith in the Lord, and her family. Josefina could move mountains with her faith, and lived her life like Jesus, by teaching and blessing others. A kind and generous soul, Josefina could find positivity in the most negative of situations and could find beauty in even the simplest aspects of life. Josefina took a leap of faith and moved to the United States in 2001 to give her family a better life. She was not afraid of hard work and would sometimes work up to 4 jobs to ensure her children would want for nothing. Josefina was also an entrepreneur, starting her first business, a bakery, in the Philippines. In the US, she opened an in-home daycare in 2008, and took over a corporate business “The Learning Experience” in 2021. She leaves behind a successful business legacy for her family. In her leisure time, Josefina enjoyed anything artistic which allowed her to express her creativity. She especially loved making crafts with her grandchildren. Josefina will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
