As a teenager, she surrendered her life to Jesus at an evangelistic crusade in the Philippines. Aloha has been a member of the First Baptist Church of Metuchen for close to 40 years. She was the founder of the Filipino Adult Bible Study Fellowship that she led in her home for the last 25 years. Aloha enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and watching old family videos with her husband was a favorite pastime. She sang and played the piano beautifully, and especially enjoyed many musical performances by her children and grandchildren. She loved to praise and worship the Lord and read the Bible. She had a big heart, sharing the love of God with many in her life. She will be dearly missed.
