Joaquina's beauty charmed Leoncio Ebora and they married. As a devoted housewife to a well respected school principal, she was always giving and their home entertained many guests. She was a hard working homemaker most of her life until she came to Winnipeg, MB, Canada on December 1, 1979 and worked at Richlu Sportswear for five years. She lived a straight-forward lifestyle of eating healthy and exercising daily. Her accomplishments have been the success and love that flourished in her family! She was the most generous supporter in all that they did and although she will be dearly missed, her legacy will continue to live within them and cherished in their hearts forever. Many thanks to the compassionate Emergency and ICU staff of Seven Oaks General Hospital, their support were greatly appreciated by the family.
