Nelli's obituary
Princesita Nelli Aragon Riddle, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, entered eternal rest on July 23, 2025 at the age of 82 in Corona, CA., surrounded by her loving family.
Born on January 31, 1943 in Ormoc City, Philippines, Nelli was the heart of her family; a woman of undeniable strength and bravery. She was the devoted wife of the late Julius Riddle, with whom she shared 37 years of loving marriage until his passing in 2005.
Nelli was the proud and loving mother of three children: Eric, Rachel, and Rodrick. Her love extended beyond her immediate family to her cherished six grandchildren and one great grand-child, who brought her endless joy and kept her young at heart.
She will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her kind and generous spirit, and the many sacrifices she made for those she loved. In her early twenties, Nelli worked tirelessly to bring her family from the Philippines to the United States, a quiet but powerful reflection of how deeply she valued family. She was a devoted and dependable woman, always moving forward with determination. She led by example, showing that true strength is demonstrated not through words but through consistent, selfless action. Her presence was a steady source of courage, comfort, and pride to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Nelli's legacy of love, perseverance, laughter, and resilience will live on through her family and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
