July 9, 1970 - July 12, 2024

We joyfully celebrate the life of Joyceline Jotojot Ocuaman, who entered eternal rest with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 12, 2024, at the age of 54.

Born on July 9, 1970, in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, Joyceline was a devoted wife and mother, passionately committed to her family and her faith. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 30 years, Bobby Ocuaman; her children, Jasmine and Mark Jeremy; her mother, Evangeline Jotojot; and her 10 siblings. She was preceded in death by her father, Ambrosio Achacoso Jotojot.

Joyceline accepted Christ at her teenage years in the Philippines and became a  follower of Christ where she engaged herself in reading the bible  and attending christian fellowships. Embracing her faith with enthusiasm has helped shape her attitude and positive outlook on life.

 In 1990, she moved to the USA with her family to reunite with her father. She started her career in an electronics company in the Bay Area, later becoming a dedicated nurse in Stockton, CA, in 1996.

As a nurse, Joyceline served her patients with compassion and dedication. Known for her organizational skills and frugality, she recently discovered a passion for gardening, particularly excelling in cultivating a variety of succulents in her garden. Joyceline also had a love for outdoor activities, enjoying camping, hiking and road trips, always eager to travel and explore new places with her family. She cherished collecting different lighthouse figures, each a memory from her adventures.

Joyceline's life was marked by her radiant smiles, infectious laughter, kindness, generosity, and unwavering faith. Her gentle spirit and loving nature have left an indelible mark on the lives of many. She will be dearly missed but lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
