In Loving Memory of Julieta De Vera Gudani Yoshisaki

Julieta De Vera Gudani Yoshisaki, 84, passed away peacefully in Winchester, California, on

January 1, 2026. She lived a life marked by faith, humility, and a generosity that seemed to

have no limit. While her family grieves her loss deeply, they also give thanks for the gift of her

life and take comfort in the hope of God’s promises.

Julieta was born and raised in Caingin, San Rafael, Bulacan, Philippines. As the second of 11

children, she learned early what it meant to be steady, responsible, and strong, lessons she

carried throughout her life. She went on to graduate from the University of the Philippines

School of Nursing in 1960, a source of pride that reflected her commitment to service and

excellence.

Julieta devoted her professional life to caring for others, serving as a public health nurse-

midwife and later as a Regional Nurse Supervisor with the Department of Health in the

Philippines. She was also a Registered Nurse in the State of Idaho. She approached her work

as a calling, caring for communities with diligence and compassion, and doing it quietly, without

seeking attention.

She made her home in Guiguinto, Bulacan, where she enjoyed the simple and meaningful joys

of life. Julieta was a voracious reader, loved crocheting, and was always ready for a good game

of Scrabble. Her faith was part of her everyday rhythm, and she especially enjoyed watching

EWTN. She also loved familiar comforts like Little House on the Prairie and Combat. Practical

and wise, she often reminded her family, “It is not how much you earn but how much you save,”

a line that sounded so much like her: thoughtful, steady, and caring.

To know Julieta was to know someone trustworthy, humble, and generous to a fault. She

worked hard, loved faithfully, and had an infectious laughter that could brighten a room. She

was a kind and loyal friend, and a devoted mother and grandmother who gave more than she

ever asked for.

Julieta was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Magno Yoshisaki (deceased 2006). She

is survived by her children, Eleanor, Magnolia, and Carlo Magno; sons-in-law Edgardo and

Rommel, daughter-in-law May Farrah, and by her cherished grandchildren, Jasmine, Mark,

Kiko, Sofia, and Luis.

Her family will miss her dearly, but they also believe it is time for her to rest, and to be reunited

with Dad. As Scripture reminds us, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want… and I will dwell

in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23).
