Julia Binsol - Obituary

ulia Quinto Binsol, 99, a long-time resident of Mrs. Philippines Home for Senior Citizen at Oxon Hill, MD passed away at her residence on Saturday, September 14, 2019. Born on June 19, 1920 in Naic, Cavite, Philippines, Julia was the beloved wife of the late Bien N. Binsol and devoted mother of the late Danilo Binsol. She is survived by her seven (7) children, Felizardo Binsol (Teresita), Melinda Dax (Alex), Nenita Catubo (Joseph), Abelardo Binsol (Evelyn), Lourdes Lloveras (Reynaldo), Armando Binsol, and Ricardo Binsol (Dulce). She is also survived by her 22 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren and a number of other loving relatives and friends. As the family matriarch, Julia was loved and cherished by many. She devoted her life to making sure that the family she raised was a close-knit one who truly love and care for one another. She not only raised her children but also took care of her siblings, nieces, nephews and any other individual who she considered part of her large and continuously growing family. Because of the love and open arms that she extended to all, many considered her a second mother and close confidant. She was a devout Catholic, praying a Rosary every night and a believer that her children should stay true to the values and traditions of Filipino culture. Julia enjoyed socializing with her neighbors, shopping at her favorite stores, and most of all, indulgence especially with her favorite foods, Pepsi, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. But most of her joy was found in her family, with her face lighting up with a smile every time she received a phone call or visit from any of her loved ones. Relatives and friends are invited to Julia's Life Celebrations on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, September 18, 19 and 20, 2019 from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at the KALAS FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY, 6160 Oxon Hill Rd., Oxon Hill, MD. Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at 10 a.m. at St. Columba Catholic Church, 7800 Livingston Rd., Oxon Hill, MD 20745. A private interment will be held with family at a date to be determined.
