She was born in the Philippines. She attended Leeward Community College before being called to active duty with the Army Reserve.

She is survived by mother Estelita, aunts Bernarda L. Rodrigues and Laurencia C. Lumayag, and cousins Gloria-Ann R., Darlene and William B. Rodrigues Jr., all of Hawaii, and other relatives in the Philippines.

Her mother plans to create a foundation that will help feed malnourished children in Bohol province. Donations may be made to Estelita Maravillosa.
