Elarma Palma

Elarma "Emma" Palma, age 78, passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025. She was born on November 28, 1946, in Alcala Pangasinan, Philippines, and resided in Cerritos, California, at the time of her passing.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Kenny Palma, her devoted daughter, Kristine Palma, and her cherished grandson, Emerson Palma.

Emma was the loving daughter of the late Telesforo Lomboy and the late Felisa Lomboy, and the dear sister of the late Artemio Lomboy, the late Erling Pensader, Aida Ibe, Ligaya Riel, and Ester Quiming. She is also lovingly remembered by her many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Emma’s love, strength, and quiet grace touched everyone who knew her. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a proud grandmother, and a kind soul who gave generously to her family and friends. She found joy in cooking, crocheting, playing mahjong, and most of all, spending time with those she loved. Her memory will live on in our hearts, and the warmth of her spirit will continue to surround us always.
