Yolanda Timog Misa

Yolanda “Yollie” Evelyn Misa was a caring wife, mother, sister, grandmother, auntie and a friend. She passed away on October 1, 2021, with her family by her side.

Yollie was born to Mamerto Valera Timog and Aurora Sanchez Timog on April 5,1952. She graduated high school in the year of 1968 at Southeastern College in Pasay City, Philippines. She attended University of Santo Thomas where she obtained her degree in Bachelor of Arts and Management in the year of 1972. She furthered her education at Golden State University in San Francisco, California where she received her Business Administration Degree in 1974.

On January 4th, 1975, she married her high school sweetheart, Rodrigo Misa at San Isidro Parish Church in Pasay City, Philippines. Yollie had three children: Roderick Allan, Rea Darlyn and Randy Mert Misa (+). She is survived by her husband, Rod, Eric (son) with Prim, Rea (daughter) with Justin,  two grandsons (whom she adored so much): Ian Gabriel and Azariah Riley. She is also survived by Linda (sister), Aurora (sister) and Mamerto Jr. (brother) with their respective families.

Yollie juggled her time raising her kids while working full time. She brought her skills to North Davao Mining Corporation in Makati, Philippines where she was an Accounts Payable Supervisor for 13 years. She immigrated to the United States in March 1995 with her husband and children. After settling in San Francisco, California, she worked at Lucky Money as an Administrative Clerk for over 10 years. She retired in 2009. Yollie then started working part time at Kohl’s and gushed about the many times she became an Associate of the Month. Yollie found lifelong friends, and to some, turned family through all her ventures.

The simplest pleasure in life brought great joy to Yollie. She loved spending time with her family, spoiling her grandsons, cooking delicious food, catching up with her friends and shopping. She lived in faith and was a devout Catholic. She had an uncanny ability to find happiness in her daily activities and her bubbly personality was contagious to everyone she met.

Yollie will always be remembered by her kindness, generosity and heartwarming personality. Her courage, strength and unconditional love will remain in her family’s hearts forever.
