Hi everyone,

With heavy hearts, we share the news of the passing of our beloved aunt, Josefina (Suping) Ocampo Valencia, who left us unexpectedly due to complications from pneumonia. While she had been on dialysis for over a year, her passing still came as a shock and has left a deep void in our family.

She passed away in California, but her final wish was to be laid to rest next to her husband in the Philippines — a wish we are trying our best to honor. Unfortunately, the costs of international transportation and burial arrangements are more than our family can manage alone.

There will be no viewing or services held here in California. For those who have reached out asking how to support us during this time, we have set up this GoFundMe page as a way to help fulfill her final request.

Any donation — big or small — will go directly toward the expenses involved in sending her home to the Philippines and arranging her burial beside her husband. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with others who may want to help would mean the world to us.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this difficult time.

This fundraiser is organized on behalf of her daughters, Pamela and Rowena.
