Obituary
EVANGELINE A. VITUG
On April 1, Wednesday, 8:15 pm, Evangeline (Lane) Vitug, loving wife of Manolito (Lito) passed away at the age of 85 after a courageous battle with heart failure.
Lane was born in Manila, Philippines to loving parents Benigno and Josefa Aldana on June 21, 1934, and was one of five children. After she graduated from Holy Ghost College she taught in high school for over ten years. She married Lito on December 17, 1960 and together they raised nine children.
Lane and Lito moved the family to California in November 1979 where they continued to rear their children, and together with their many friends, fostered great devotion to the Lord Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph in the spirit of Opus Dei taught by St. Josemaria and Blessed Alvaro del Portillo. She fulfilled God’s will through her responsibilities as wife, mother, grandmother and friend with a lot of affection and great simplicity. She did this without complaining even when faced with adversities such as financial setbacks and illnesses in the family including her own.
Lane is survived by her husband Lito, children Noel, Martin (and Stephanie), Mark (and Ruth), Maritess (and Rick O’Donnell), Montse (and Mike Vroman), Todd Kupka (husband of deceased daughter Michelle), Michael (and Traci), Matthew, and May (and Tom Stoddard), and all the loving 23 grandchildren. Her loving and generous spirit evoked a very tender last end from her greatest love of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Her remains are at the O’Connor Mortuary in Laguna Hills.

We are deeply sorry for your loss. We are so grateful to have met Tita Lane. She was a wonderful woman and a great example of a servant of God, bringing children closer to God through our circles when we were younger. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
We are praying for all of you Vitugs. Hugs, prayers and all our love..

The loss.of one of our closest friends since we came to California many years ago is a sad moment for Jo and I. We will be always thankful that we met Lane and Lito early in our life here, where they and their family became such an important party of our and our children’s lives. God bless the Vitug family – they now have a saint watching over them! Love Mike and Jo

Dearest Lito,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Lane’s passing away. Do not grieve as she was a faithful servant and is now among God’s Blessed in heaven. Let us pray that through her intercession and that of our most loving Mother Mary, God may end the sufferings of his people caused by the pandemic. Take care
