Lilia

Bonifacio Signey

On May 19, 1972, Lilia married her beloved husband, Eduardo Signey. Together, they shared 52 years of marriage, building a life centered on love, loyalty, and family. Following his passing, she carried the treasured memories of their life together with grace and strength.

Lilia found great joy in caring for her family. She is lovingly remembered by her four children and their spouses: Richard (Josephine) Signey, Emmylou (John) Dolormente, Lilian (Alvis) Signey-Hall, and Edu (Shulamita) Signey. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to her eight cherished grandchildren: Renee, Kent, Jonathan, Prue, Rhys, Ella, Ve, and Aki. Each held a special place in her heart, and she treasured every opportunity to be part of their lives.

She also leaves behind her brother, Manuel (Luzviminda) Fermin, and her sister, Julie (Cayo) Sabado, with whom she shared enduring bonds of family and affection.

Lilia’s generosity reached across generations. She lovingly guided and supported her sister’s children—Jennifer, Janice, Jarmine, and Edward John—and their children, helping ensure they had the opportunity to complete their education. Her care reflected her desire to see those she loved grow and build meaningful lives of their own.

Her memory will also be cherished by her nieces and nephews: Michelle, Melverson, Erickson, Jackson, Manilyn, Nicholson, Emerson, Christopher Sy, George Michael, Mark, Alexander, and James Kyle. To her extended family, she was a source of kindness, encouragement, and loving guidance.

As a faithful servant of Jehovah, Lilia drew strength and comfort from the Scriptures throughout her life. Her faith shaped the way she cared for others and sustained her through times of loss and difficulty. She held dear the friendships she shared within the congregation, where her thoughtfulness and warmth touched many lives.

Lilia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Eduardo Signey; her parents, Fermin Bonifacio and Jovita Sebiano; and her sisters, Erlinda Fermin and Purita Fermin Ngaosi.

As her family and friends remember her, they find comfort in the promise at Revelation 21:4 that “death will be no more,” and in the reassuring words of Isaiah 41:10: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be anxious, for I am your God.”

Lilia leaves a lasting legacy in the family she nurtured, the opportunities she helped provide, and the kindness she extended to others. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished by those whose lives she touched.
