Teresa “Tess” Ronquillo was born on September 28, 1957 to Cenon & Adoracion Ronquillo in Manila, Philippines and left this Earth January 24, 2024 in Carson, California. Tess grew up with her beloved siblings: Maripaz, Marivic, and Julius. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life such as baking, shopping, going to church, and traveling the world. After graduating Dentistry in 1983 from the University of the East in Manila, Teresa’s strong ambition led her to practice for over 20 years at her private dental clinic. Most will fondly remember Doc Tess for her skilled gentle hands, compassion for her patients, and generosity to the community in America and the Philippines. She loved her family very much and is survived by her only daughter, Aurora, and her two grandchildren, Audrey & Archer. She will be missed dearly by all. May she rest in our Lord’s Heavenly Kingdom.
