Laguna Woods

Connie as she is affectionately called by her family and friends was born to her parents, Leopoldo and Irene Mijares on January 18, 1930 at the Mary Johnston Hospital, Tondo, Manila, Philippines. She passed away peacefully at her home in Laguna Woods, CA with her family at her bedside on March 5, 2025. She outlived her six sisters (Natividad, Estrella, Eloisa, Andrea, Lina and Patricia). On June 21, 1955 she was married to her beloved late husband, Leopoldo Abang at San Roque Catholic Church, Olongapo, Zambales, Philippines. They were happily married for 60 years.

Connie held various finance jobs over her career. Most notably she retired from the Civil Service working at the Los Angeles Air Force Base Space Division in El Segundo, CA

She raised four children, Anthony (Kathy), Leo Jr, Audrey (Greg) and Susanne (James). She loved her children and would do anything for them.

She was a devoted grandmother of nine, Michael (Viola), Leo III, Kristin, Melissa, Matthew, Christopher (Kaylee), Nealie (Jack), Brian and Gregory. She was blessed to have five great grandchildren (Melody, Matthias, Iyla, Aubrey and Cole). Every time she got to see her grandchildren and great grandchildren; she would have the biggest smile that you ever saw. She was proud of their accomplishments and always encouraged them to do their best in whatever endeavor that they undertook.

Outside of work, Connie enjoyed playing tennis, hiking, walking, running, gardening and shopping. Speaking of running, Connie was quite accomplished and usually placed first in her age group.

Another love that she had, was bread, sweets and decaf coffee with cream. Her freezer and refrigerator were stocked to the brim with bread items and every time she went to the supermarket or bakery, she was buying loaves of bread, muffins and danish when she didn’t need them.
