Sinforosa Ondoy

July 18, 1932 - January 9, 2022

On January 9, 2022, Sinforosa Umali Ondoy went to be with her Savior Jesus Christ at age 89. Tia Nene, as she was fondly called by her many nephews and nieces, made an impact in their lives by caring for the majority of them when they were still children. She also sent a few of them to school and helped them in their graduation. Tia Nene continued to help them when they got married and began to raise their own family. As one niece said, "Tia Nene was always doing something from sunup to sundown." She instilled in them the value of hard work. After Nene came to know the Lord as her Savior, she became busy doing Bible Studies. She would go to the mountains in Cainta to share the Word of God. She ushered people to their seats and started the Nursery at her old church Calvary Baptist Church in Marikina, Philippines. She joined the choir because she loved to sing for the Lord! Wherever she went, she would always be active in the church. At the International Christian Fellowship in New York, she babysat Pastor Sam's daughter when they did visitations. Nene hosted the after-service fellowship at Grace Baptist Church in New York and they loved her sotanghon soup. In Texas, where she briefly lived, she was active in their prayer meetings and Bible Studies. Here in Delaware, she was active with the senior fellowship at the Good Shepherd Bible Church. She was also active in the religious activity when she was with St. Francis Life Center. Nene saw how God cared for her and experienced God's faithfulness in every stage of her life. "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations." (Deuteronomy 7:9) Nene is survived by her beloved husband of 67 years, Leonardo; her daughter, Cecilia (Rouel Zaballero); her son, Daniel (Maya) and daughter-in-law Reggie; her grandchildren: Zoe and Joshua Zaballero, and Amber Ondoy. Nene was preceded in death by her son, Pastor Roehl; her daughter, Heidi; and her grandson, Malachi.
