Filomena Fernandez Obituary
Filomena Cintas Fernandez, 98, of Vacaville, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Sunday, Oct. 24. Filomena was born on March 11, 1912, in El Pilar, Almeria, Spain. She was the fourth of seven children.
She was a loving and devoted wife to Juan Fernandez Ramos and nurturing mother to her two sons Francisco and Rafael.
Filomena is survived by her two sons, Francisco and Rafael; daughter-in-law, Pilar; four grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends
Filomena came to the United States in 1960 and worked at The Basic Vegetable Plant for 20 years and retired in 1977.
Filomena was the most loving, caring person and we were all so lucky to have shared her 98 years of love. We will take comfort in knowing that she will be together again with the love of her life, Juan, and her family and friends for eternity. We will continue to remember that the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart.
The viewing will be held on Sunday, Oct. 31, from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by the rosary service from 7 to 8 p.m. at McCune Garden Chapel. Mass will be held Monday, Nov. 1, at St. Mary's Church at 10 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, her family requests that donations be sent to the American Cancer Society.
Arrangements are under the direction of McCune Garden Chapel, 448-6546, www.mccunechapel.com.

I haven't seen Filomena in many years, but when I think of her I always think of both Filomena and Juan with my grandparents. They were such good friends. I see them younger and happy and smiling. My mom has pictures of them together. I am sorry for your loss. It is always difficult to lose someone you love, but she is now with them all. As far as I know Filomena was the last of that generation. The neighborhood has lost them all, but we have our happy memories, and we will be together with them in time.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our loved ones again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrendered his soul. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.
