Adoracion Antonio Jumaquio

Adoracion Antonio Jumaquio

January 6, 1940 - September 14, 2020

Adoracion, known to family and friends as Doris, was born in Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines on January 6, 1940. World War II had just begun, and her father temporarily moved his family from his hometown of Las Pinas to their mother's rice farm. Being a deeply religious man, her father named her Adoracion on the day of her birth in honor of the Feast of the Epiphany of our Lord to recall the adoration of the three magi. She passed away peacefully on September 14, in the company of her loving husband, Resty Jumaquio.

Doris was the third of eleven children born to Francisco Antonio and Felisa Herrera, a loving family of five sisters and six brothers. Being the second oldest daughter, she took care of most of her siblings at a young age. The family moved back to Las Pinas when she was a teenager and earned an accounting degree from the University of the East in Manila. She was a frequent companion of her father to social events when her father became the mayor of Las Pinas.

She worked briefly at Air Langer, but that was short-lived when she married Resty, the love of her life. She moved to the United States in 1965, residing in San Diego where Resty was stationed as a US Navy serviceman. They were blessed with three children, Rachel, Rowena and Dennis. Although Resty's Navy responsibilities had him frequently away, she raised them lovingly with her quiet inner strength. They made life-long friends in California, then moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1976 to follow Resty's Navy assignment. Bremerton (Washington) became their home until her health compelled them to move to Seattle 4 years ago.

One of Doris' greatest joys was becoming a Grandmother. She loved to take care of and spoil her 5 Grandchildren and was so happy to experience every one of their life accomplishments and milestones -birthdays, graduations, sports games, holidays.

Doris lived her life always in the service of others, never thinking about herself. Vanity was foreign to her, embodying humility and kindness instead. While in Bremerton, she worked as a food service worker in one of the dining halls on the Navy Base. After her children had grown and left home, she opened a daycare in her home, using her motherly instincts to take care of many small children.

She is now in the company of saints with her parents and siblings Teresita, Alfredo, and Viterbo, while she looks lovingly on the rest of her surviving sisters Rosalinda, Atalana, and Angelina along and her brothers Traodio, Armando, Rustico, and Ariston.

Doris is survived by her loving husband Resty, her daughters Rachel (Jason) and Rowena (Ricky), her son Dennis (Tim), and her grandchildren Taylor, Wagner, Alex, Evan, and Sofia.

A private funeral mass will be held at St John the Evangelist Parish (Seattle, WA),

with a burial to follow at Holyrood Catholic Cemetery (Shoreline, WA).
