Felicidad Badanguio Raza

May 27, 1933 - January 27, 2018

Affectionately known as “Fely”, Felicidad Sacayanan Bandanguio was born on May 27, 1933 in the town of Currimao, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Graduating from Northern Luzon College with a BS degree in Elementary Education. Fely first met her lifelong partner Marcelino (Celin) Tagama Raza Sr. at an Iglesia Ni Cristo choir practice in Laoag City and were married in 1957. Their common passion for teaching took root in Sarrat Central Elementary School while raising their children Theodore (Lerry), Marcelino Jr. (Marfe), Jocelyn (Joji) and Ray shining forth a growing family. In 1969, Fely arrived with her children to Honolulu, Hawaii to reunite with her loving husband Celin who immigrated one year earlier. Her new life in the states was met with hope and determination to support and to cultivate her young family. In the late 70’s, she was recognized as top World Book Encyclopedia sales representative and then remade herself to be a Paramedical Assistant Nurse from 1980’s and on. Her dedication for her family and for her duties as a deaconess in the Iglesia Ni Cristo truly represented her. Before her passing on January 27, 2018, her thoughts were about her faith and church duties and visiting ill relatives in the hospital seeing to the well-being of immediate family members. These last few moments of how she lived defined her as a person: faithful, loving and caring for the material and spiritual needs of those around her. We will miss you Mommy, Grandma, Auntie, Friend and Wife. We hope to follow the best example of how you lived. May you rest in peace until we meet again.
