Erlinda Mendoza Par Felix

Obituary
Condolences

Erlinda Mendoza Par Felix was a loving wife, mother, Lola (grandmother and great grandmother), sister, and friend. She left this world on October 7, 2023, at age 88. 

She was born in Manila, Philippines, to Remedios Mendoza and Hermogenes Par on April 19, 1935. She married Perry DeGuzman Felix on October 20, 1963, so this month is their 60th wedding anniversary. Perry immigrated to the U.S.A. in 1970 and she followed with the children in 1971. She lived mostly in Maryland and settled in Kentucky in 2016.

She is survived by her husband, Perry; children, Marie Celynn (Rob) and Erwin (Jill); 12 grandchildren–Christopher, Karla (Quincey), Amanda (Jeremy), Ryan (Sheila), Carolynne (Josh), Laura (Alex), Hannah, Kristina (Jared), Joseph, Daniel, Mary, and Jennifer; 11 great grandchildren-Dominic, Grace, Christopher, Natalie, Charlotte, Xavier, James, Sage, Alexandra, Remy, and Olivia.

Erlinda’s greatest joy was her family and friends. She left quite a legacy of love and Faith with 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, the newest born October 8, 2023. She remembered the names and birthdays of all family, friends, and even their extended families! She was a prolific letter writer and so generous to all. She left a legacy of great Faith in Our Lord and Savior. She was a devout Catholic, praying the rosary and for her family faithfully.

A funeral Mass is scheduled for 9:30 am on October 13, 2023, at Our Lady of Lourdes in Park Hills, Kentucky. In lieu of flowers or monetary donations, please have Masses offered in her name at your local parish. Expressions of sympathy may be offered at www.LinnemannFuneralHomes.com.

Our thoughts are with you

So sorry for your loss, Erwin. I know she meant a lot to you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Beautiful memories of a beautiful woman

Dear Perry, Marie-Celynn, and Felix

All the Gheens (also formerly from Maryland, during the Camelot days!) remember Erlinda so fondly. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, with intelligence to match. Of course, we remember very specific things in our childhood memories–she always looked glamorous, her perfume smelled lovely, she gave soft kisses on both cheeks hello, she looked at us with smiling eyes, she talked medicine with mom and politics and gardening with dad, and she served bowls and trays of the most delicious food. Not long ago, strong memories of the Felix Family and Camelot flooded in, and as if to more tangibly re-experience those memories, I hurried to make pancit from scratch. I didn’t make it as well as your mom did–who can compare. I’ll just have to try again. ❤️ She exuded love and kindness, and that’s something of her legacy we can pass on.

With deepest condolences,

A kind soul to all

Marie,
With every fond memory I have of you both. It is with a heavy heart that her soul has left her earthly body and us behind but she has returned to the Lord in Paradise and in that we can find joy.
