Ofelia Botsacos

 Ofelia Botsacos, a devoted mother, grandmother, and the heart of her family, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2026, at the age of 68, surrounded by love.

Born on April 19, 1957, in Matalom, Leyte, Ofelia lived a life rooted in strength, compassion, and selfless devotion to others. She was the kind of woman who always put her family first—showing love through care, sacrifice, and simply being there. Her presence brought comfort, warmth, and a sense of home to everyone around her.

Ofelia took great pride in being a mother and caregiver, meeting every challenge with quiet resilience and grace. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures: gardening, cooking, music, meaningful conversations, and time spent with friends and loved ones. Those who knew her best remember her as lighthearted, strong, loving, and often the life of the party.

In her final chapter, Ofelia faced illness with courage and dignity, continuing to show tenderness and strength even in her most vulnerable moments.

She is survived by her children, Ryan, Russel, Rejean and Marissa; her grandchildren, Nicholas, Maria Ellena Ysabel, Pete Isaac, Cid, Anica, and Ralph; her siblings, Dulce, Roy, Nono, Blas III, Olive, Dionie, and Jary; and many others whose lives she touched with her love.

Ofelia’s legacy lives on in the family she raised, the lives she shaped, and the love she gave so freely.
