Dollieta's obituary

With heavy hearts, the Secretaria family announces the passing of our beloved Dollieta “Mama Dolly” Secretaria, who peacefully passed away in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, just five days before Christmas, after bravely facing health challenges. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and the heart of our family.
Mama Dolly was known for her warmth, kindness, and generosity. She welcomed everyone into her home, making them feel safe, loved, and cared for. No one ever left her home hungry, and she always put the needs of her family above her own. Behind her occasionally stern expression was a playful spirit and a deeply loving heart that touched everyone who knew her.
She shared a lifelong, devoted bond with her husband, Menardo, and their partnership was a foundation of love and support for the entire family. Her passing leaves a profound emptiness, and we hold our papa especially close in our hearts and prayers.
It was always Mama Dolly’s wish to return to the Philippines to be laid to rest and buried. Her family is working to honor this final wish.
She will be deeply missed by her family and all whose lives she touched. Mama Dolly’s legacy of love, selflessness, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
The Secretaria family kindly asks for prayers, support, and love during this difficult time as they prepare to bring her home and give her the farewell she so deeply deserves.
