The Bakersfield Californian 
Inocencia Ramos Rabanal "Mom"
July 28, 1926 - February 19, 2005

Inocencia Ramos Rabanal was born in Sabangan, San Juan, Ilocos Sur, 
Philippines on July 28, 1926 to Gregorio Villiarin and Nemecia Ramos. 
Inocencia spent her youth in the Philippines where she met and married her 
husband, Alejo Rabanal. In 1970 Mom and Dad emigrated to Delano, California 
with five of their children. Mom was an active member of the Filipino Catholic 
Association in Delano for many years and was dedicated to the Catholic Church. 
Mom also loved gardening and working outdoors. Mom had a big heart and always 
opened the doors of her home to friends and relatives who needed a place to 
stay. Mom dearly loved her children and grandchildren and was happiest when 
cooking for and spending time with them. If there was one thing that could sum 
up Moms character, it was her willingness to sacrifice and go the extra mile 
for the sake of her family. 

In 1994, after 49 years of marriage, Mom suffered a severe blow when Dad 
passed away. In 1997, Mom suffered an initial stroke which precipitated a 
number of health problems. As a result of her medical condition, Mom spent her 
last years living in the home of her daughter, Merlinda Rabanal Collier. Even 
up to her final days, Mom continued to express her love for family and 
continued her interest in gardening and cooking. Mom passed away peacefully at 
home on Saturday, February 19, 2005.

Mom is survived by her brothers Guillermo Padua and Rudy Padua of the 
Philippines; her sister Dora Vallangaca of the Philippines; her son George 
Rabanal and wife Rosemary, her son Arsenio Rabanal and wife Virginia, her son 
John Rabanal and wife Beverly, her son Domi Rabanal, her son Jason Rabanal and 
wife Aimee; her daughter Erlinda Arciaga and husband Maximo, her daughter 
Merlinda Collier and husband Mike; her grandchildren Geomar, Maryjane, and
