Mrs. Adriano was currently an active member of Grace Covenant Church of God where she was involved in the Fil-Am Bible Study that was started by Rev. David L. Holdman for over eight years. She loved to sing and lead worship during these Bible studies. Mrs. Adriano was passionate in her faith, and believed in the power of prayer. She loved many things including singing and dancing, reading her Bible, taking trips to the Philippines, and watching the Price is Right. Her favorite thing of all was being surrounded by her family, especially the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Anytime you saw her, she had a big smile on her face and showed her affection by giving you a big hug. She was loved and known as Nanay by all, and she will be deeply missed.
