With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Eugenia S. Solis on June 16, 2024, in her cherished hometown of Brgy. Anonas East, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. Born on November 13, 1932, in Brgy. Anonas, she graced this world for 91 years, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Eugenia's life was a testament to the transformative power of education. A dedicated English teacher, she believed fervently in Nelson Mandelaโs words: โEducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.โ Her classroom was not just a place of learning but a haven where young minds were nurtured and inspired to reach their fullest potential.
Her educational journey began at Cayambanan Elementary School and continued through Cayambanan National High School. Eugenia furthered her studies at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. Her career as an English teacher was marked by dedication, passion, and an unwavering commitment to her students.
Eugenia was preceded in death by her loving parents, Roberto Solis and Gertrudes Madayag, her beloved husband Melanio O. Solis, her dear children Armando and Samuel, and her cherished siblings Abelardo and Marieto. Their spirits now form a celestial choir, welcoming her with open arms.
She leaves behind a family who adored her: her children Honrado and his wife Liberanda, Nelma and her husband Rodel, Melanie and Bernadine; her grandchildren Angela, Joven, Shiela, Tom, Boy, Alexis, Ronel, Hazel, Matthew, Benjamin, and Rhian; and her great-grandchildren Geoff, Audrey, Gracielle, Tristan, Achilles, Gramielle, and Art. Her surviving sisters, Benedicta and Erlinda, mourn the loss of their beloved sister, celebrating a life well-lived and a legacy of love and wisdom.
Eugenia's impact extended beyond her family and classroom. She was a pillar of strength and kindness in her community, always ready with a warm smile and a helping hand. Her wisdom, patience, and grace touched the lives of many, creating ripples of positive change that will be felt for generations.
A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. A celebration of Eugenia's life will be held in Brgy. Anonas East, Urdaneta City, where friends and family will gather to honor her memory and the extraordinary life she led.
Rest in peace, Eugenia S. Solis. Your light continues to shine through the many lives you have touched, your teachings, and the love you so generously shared. You have indeed changed the world.
