Feliciana Calvo

April 15, 1933 - January 16, 2020

Feliciana Cortez Calvo, 86, of Fairfield, CA died on Thursday, January 16, 2020 at the North Bay Medical Center, Fairfield . She was born April 15, 1933 in Mexico, Pampanga, Philippines to Ventura and Sabel Cortez. In our local Filipino dialect, we fondly call her “Apung Ising” (Grandma Ising). She was the most caring and very patient person in the world. We had a hard life together in the Philippines but our Super Mom was able to take care of us making sure that we were taken care of. Food was not ample and she always gave up her share to her children in a heartbeat. She never gave up on us in spite of all the difficulties we faced. She loved to listen to our jokes and laughed at them. Her giggles are a trademark to remember. When we were stubborn or hardheaded, she always said “sakalan daka dila, lumolo ka batal” (I will strangle your tongue until your neck sticks out). We will definitely miss her medium of expression. She was a God-fearing woman who never failed to talk to God everyday. She is survived by her husband of 60 plus years, Pablo M. Calvo, 8 children, 18 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and 2 sisters. The funeral service is on Friday, 11:00 AM, 31 January 2020 at the Bryan Braker Funeral Home. The interment will follow at the Fairmont Memorial Park in Fairfield.
