A dedicated staff member of the UP Diliman (91³Ô¹ÏÍø) College of Arts and Letters (CAL) Office of the Dean, Evelyn Dela Cruz Mariano, passed away on Sept. 16. She was 58.
Mariano first worked at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø on June 1, 1989 as a research assistant under then CAL dean Vivencio R. Jose. Later on, she was promoted as a university research associate (URA), a position she held until she passed.
Ma. Teresa Peralta, Mariano’s colleague, described her as “a cheerful soul always ready to welcome people with a warm smile, a devoted and loving mother and wife, a hardworking employee, a compassionate friend, and someone with profound generosity and sensitivity, always thinking about the needy.”
On Sept. 25, CAL offered a thanksgiving mass for the life of Mariano via Zoom.
Born on July 6, 1963, Mariano is survived by husband David and their three children.
