Belen Ramos Berania, 66, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2026, surrounded by the two people she cherished most in this world—her devoted daughter and loving son. In her final moments, she knew she was not alone as she answered the call of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Belen lived a life defined by generosity, faith, and unconditional love. She lived with her daughter, who was not only her caregiver during her illness but also her best friend and constant companion. Her son was equally dear to her heart, and together they formed an unbreakable bond that sustained her through her health struggles.

Family was everything to Belen. She treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren, whether gathered around the karaoke machine for family sing-alongs, going shopping, sightseeing, or simply being together. Her laughter and warm presence made every gathering special.

Belen's generous spirit knew no bounds. Each month, she lovingly packed boxes filled with goodies and useful items to ship to family and friends in the Philippines, finding joy in giving to others even when she had little herself. Her heart remained deeply connected to the Philippines, where she had so many fond memories and dreamed of one day returning to visit her family and friends. Though her illness prevented this cherished dream from becoming reality, the Philippines remained forever in her heart.

Her true riches were the family and friends she cared for so deeply, both here and across the ocean.

Belen's life's greatest accomplishment was raising her son and daughter, who loved being around her and who cared for her with the same devotion she had always shown them.

Though she has left this world, Belen's legacy of kindness, generosity, and love will continue to shine through all the lives she touched. She gave whenever she could, loved without limit, and lived her faith every day. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Pittsburg Funeral Chapel. Funeral liturgy Friday, January 30, 2026, at Church of the Good Shepherd. Committal services at Holy Cross Cemetery in Antioch.
