In Loving Memory of Aida Molina Gonzales

September 10, 1946 – December 24, 2025

Aida Molina Gonzales, 79, passed away peacefully on Christmas Eve, 2025. Born in Manila, Philippines, her life’s journey took her across the globe to Vancouver, Canada, Florence and Maple Valley, USA, leaving a trail of inspiration in every community she called home.

Born to Celso and Pilar Molina, Aida was a proud alumna of the University of the Philippines and served with distinction as a Professor and the Dean of Rehabilitation Sciences, mentoring generations of students, the Sunbright Program, before retiring as a Licensed Physical Therapist in 2015. In addition to her many accolades, those close to her know her for her gentle touch and sound advice, her charming wit and unconditional love and care for her family.

Aida’s stories and values will be carried forward by her devoted husband, Cris, and her children: Jonathan (Cristene), the late Edward, Jenny (Marlowe), and Christine (Daniel).

She was a doting grandmother to Mickey (Jessie), Jiana (Marco), Jaeda, JR, Jewel, Anna, Emma, Noah, Jowie, and Jacob. She remains a guiding light for her many friends, colleagues, and whose lives she transformed the moment she met them.
