Heliodora Dizon Gomez

Heliodora (sometimes spelled Eliodora) was Grandma Pam’s mom. The only thing I’ve been able to find about her so far is that she was born in 1888 in Bayambang, Pangasinan, and her parents were Pastor Gomez and Tereza Dizon. She was married to Felipe Eser Jose in Bautista on September 21, 1908 at the age of 20. She had nine children, and they all moved to Baguio.

She died in 1941 while Grandma Pam was at high school. She had high blood pressure, had recently found out about the affair Felipe was having with his secretary, Rufina, and had a stroke. She was taken to the hospital but never woke up.

Eliodora’s 1908 marriage record, citing her husband Felipe Eser Jose, his parents Luis E. Jose and Apolonia Malarulat, and Eliodora’s parents Pastor Gomez and Tereza Dizon. They were married in Bautista, where Grandma Pam would be born 17 years later.
