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.

Lane is a blessing and an inspiration to all. I have the honor to know her briefly and I always remember her kind and gentle smile. During her last days, her strong and uplifting spirit touched those around her immensely. She will always be loved, always be remembered. Trust that she is already with our Lord. May God also bless everyone who misses her on earth. Sending our deepest condolences.

Dear Tito Lito and cousins,
Our deepest condolences in the passing of Tita Lane. We are deeply grieved as well but we can all take comfort with the thought that our good Lord was missing her too and wanted her home with Him. I, personally will be missing the phone calls with her cheerful voice on the other line. I’ve always been inspired by her very optimistic disposition even in the midst of challenges and tragedies.
We will always keep her and the Vitug family in our thoughts and prayers.
I will miss you Tita Lane!
God bless,
Manny and Pinky Manahan and Family
