Eufemia Hussey Obituary

"Eufemia Cabugao Hussey, 80, of Turlock, passed away peacefully at home on September 25, 2023. Eufemia was born on August 16, 1943 to Victor and Rosa Cabugao in Batanes, Philippines. It was on that island where she met a young man from the Unites States Coast Guard named George Hussey. George and Eufemia fell in love and would eventually get married on October 20, 1969. George's commitment to the Coast Guard would take the couple to Oakland (CA), where their son Ron was born, and then Kaneohe (HI), where their daughter Kimberly was born. In 1975, after twenty years of service in the Coast Guard, George retired and the family settled in Turlock (CA). While in Turlock, Eufemia worked for a local cannery as well as a nut company. Eufemia enjoyed fishing and going on family trips and attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Eufemia was preceded in death by her parents as well as her husband. She is survived by her son Ron Hussey and daughter Kim Peterson (Kirk) both of Turlock as well as her grandson, Kollin Craig. A graveside ceremony will be held at Turlock Memorial Park on October 11 at 1PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Community Hospice (Modesto, CA), an organization that was very helpful to Eufemia later in her life. "
