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.
The Viewing and Holy Rosary will take place on Wednesday, April 8, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

How I wish I could be physically there. United to you in the most important way, in prayer, through the Communion of Saints. Thank you for having shared her with me. Lane, you were the best teacher on how to live Opus Dei and are forever in my heart.

But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
Prayers for the family.

Dear Manolito & the entire Vitug Family,
My condolences on the loss of your beautiful Lane. She was my first friend when I moved to CA. many years ago.
I love Lane and all of you. What a gift she was and is to all of us!
Our Lord picks the rose when it is in full bloom! We are living the Communion of Saints now in a special way and Lane’s many friends and family are keeping you all in prayer. May Lane rest in peace and May Our Lord’s perpetual light shine upon her. I know what devotion she had to the Holy Family and especially to St. Joseph. It is beautiful that she went home to the Lord on a Wednesday – the Day of St. Joseph.
“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
Love & prayers, Bernadette
