Yvonne's obituary
Yvonne, lovingly known as Ate Baby, Mom, Mommy, Mama, Grandma or Momsi was born on April 9, 1941 in Butuan City, Philippines to Paciencia Calo and Eustaquio Mefania. She was one of four siblings, Medy, Bebot and Langga. She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents.
She worked as a Fabrication Lead for 25 years and made a lasting impact in the semiconductor industry.
Yvonne was known for her kindness, generosity, her steadfast faith, and the deep love she had for her family. She will be remembered for the joy she found in cooking—meals that were never just food, but expressions of love she shared from her heart. Her life was marked by sacrificial service, always putting the needs of others before her own, and giving generously without ever expecting anything in return.
She loved the simple pleasures in life: gardening—specifically her orchids, plants and fruit trees, buying gifts for others, discovering a good bargain when shopping, socializing with friends, playing solitaire on her iPad and the excitement of playing the slots at the casino. These little joys reflected her playful spirit and her ability to find happiness wherever she went.
Yvonne is lovingly survived by her devoted husband, Celso Lindo, whom she loved and cared for deeply; her four children—Jon, Mae, Glenn, and Vince; her eleven grandchildren—Jonathan, Danielle, Joseph, Noah, Moriah, Tristan, Jaxon, Jeric, Adelaide, Nicolas, and Evander; and her two great-grandchildren—Rowen and Amelia. Her family was the heart of her world.
The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to El Camino Hospital, St. John the Baptist church community, members of the Secular Augustinian Recollect Fraternity, St. Elizabeth Church, Satellite Health Care of Milpitas, Vista Manor Nursing Center of San Jose, Davita Dialysis of San Diego, St. Augustinian Recollect Sisters, and the devoted family, friends, neighbors and caregivers who prepared meals, cleaned, provided transportation and cared for her needs.
We celebrate her life and honor her memory. She leaves behind a legacy of love—one that will continue to live on in the lives she touched, and the warmth she gave so freely.
