Nona Socorro Segui

Nona Socorro Segui passed away November 12, 2021 at the age of sixty seven in Quezon City, Philippines. She was a loving aunt, sister, daughter... Family and friend to many.

Nona was born at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital in Manila on April 21, 1954. Nona grew up in Quezon City, finished grade school at Far Eastern University and high school at the University of the Philippines Integrated School at Diliman, Quezon City. Around this time, she and her brother Nonong were diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, which meant that she would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Despite the steadily increasing physical limitations she encountered, she graduated with a BS in Psychology in University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Nona worked at the Human Resource Department at the National Housing Authority in the 1980s. On top of her disability and a full time career, she also helped raise her sister Victoria's children, Crispin, Lorena and Rhodora. Her career at NHA spanned more than 3 decades and she retired at 65. She bravely fought muscular dystrophy and was peacefully taken by the Lord at 67.  

Nona lived her life simply and prayerfully. Her life is a shining example of faith, bravery and determination.
