Hermie Villanueva Mendoza
October 23, 1938 ~ January 2, 2020
Hermie Villanueva Mendoza, 81, of Jefferson City, passed away Thursday, January 2, 2020, at St. Mary’s Hospital.
She was born October 23, 1938, in Butuan City, Philippines, the daughter of the late Hilarion and Ana (Montilla) Villanueva.
She was united in marriage on October 24, 1959, in Butuan City, Philippines to Salvador Mendoza who preceded her in death on June 12, 1985.
Hermie worked for many years as an accountant for the Ministry of Health in Manila, Philippines. After she moved with family to the United States, she worked as a care giver.
She is a God fearing mother, who love the Lord dearly, who love and treasure every word of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even to her severe pain, she's singing to her Lord Jesus Christ, and praying unceasingly to the Lord. Her worn-out bible with notes and highlights on every page testifies her love to the word. One on her bible notes is 1 Corinthians 13:3 “If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing”.
She is a humble sweet and kind woman, loving and selfless mother. Selfless, that she sacrifices leaving her 7 children(with 3 years old her youngest child at that time), so she could support her family and give them a better future. She seek for a greener pasture here in united states, giving care to the elderly as a means to support her kids. Sending almost everything what she have to her children back home in Philippines.

I will never forget her smile and the warm welcome every time we come to her bday parties. The inspiring words that come out of her mouth when we talk about our faith in Jesus. She is a woman of faith! I believe she now rests in the arms of her Saviour.
Mama Hermie made my childhood memories literally BEAUTIFUL. I remember myself always scannning her letters to me with colorful and glittery details, with princesses and unicorn drawings. She always remembers my birthday knowing it’s the Christmas day. My second name “Herub” (Hermie/Ruby) was derived from hers and from my Aunt Mommy Ruby. She’s a soft-spoken woman with admirable kindness and generosity for every one. I’m happy that you got to meet my daughter and instantly fell in love with her. We will always remember how you made us feel love and appreciated. I know you’re in God’s loving arms now my Lola. I will always remember you. Another guardian angel up in heaven. We love you dearly, Mama Hermie.
I thought of you with love today Auntie Hermie. I also thought about you yesterday and the day before that. I think of you in silence. All I have is memories of you especially in the late part of the 80s when you first came to America, we go to First Baptist Church every Sunday. Your memory is my keepsake which I will keep. Now that you’re up in heaven, God has you in His keeping and we have you in our hearts. We will forever miss your beautiful smile.
We will miss your smile and hearing your soft spoken voice, Auntie. Until we meet again.
i miss you very much mamaH.
