ADORACION (DORY) GARCERA SOLDEVILLA 1934 - 2008 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Adoracion Dory Garcera Soldevilla on July 14, 2008 after a courageous battle with cancer. Our mom came to Canada in 1992 after retiring in the Philippines as a school teacher and principal for 33 years. She enjoyed coaching baseball, volleyball and ballroom dancing. She was predeceased by her husband Guillermo (1977), brother Elias (1999) and daughter Arlene (2004). Our mom cherished her ten grandchildren, all blessed with her caring soul, strong spirit, and love for the Lord. She leaves behind to cherish her legacy her children Guia (Jinny Ariza), Asuncion Cynthia, Guillermo Jr. (Evelyn Espedido), Marjorie (Marcel Joaquin), Maribeth (Werner Verwer), grandchildren Sarah, Camille, J.P., Joshua, Francis, Vincent, Matthew, Michael, Mark and Whylon, niece Anni Braga and Yndai Madolora. In the Philippines, her loss is also mourned by her siblings Nilda (Antonio Braga), Cecelia Olmedo, Hildebrand (Belen Japitana), Victorio, sister-in-law Amanda and numerous nieces and nephews. She enriched the lives of her family, her friends, her students and we will miss her deeply.
