Eduarda Hermoso Alegre, born on October 13, 1935 in Manila, Philippines, died peacefully in her sleep on December 9, 2020 at Joyful Home in Mission Viejo. She was lovingly known as Ne to her husband, Mom to her children, Nana to her seven grandsons, and Edy to her numerous friends. Born to Abdon and Leonisa Hermoso, Edy was the fifth of nine children. She moved to the City of Olongapo, where she met her future husband, Manuel Reyes Alegre. After a long courtship of approximately seven years because Manny's ship was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, Manny and Edy were married on April 14, 1962 and soon after had three children, Elizabeth, Mario and Ellen.

The Navy slogan, "It's Not Just a Job, It's an Adventure" applied not only to the sailors, but also to their wives. Being married to one meant lots of adventures and moves for Edy and her family starting in Okinawa to San Francisco to Newport News and Portsmouth, Virginia and ending at Manny's last duty station in Long Beach. Edy and family finally settled in Orange County— Edy loved living in beautiful Laguna Niguel.

Edy is survived by her husband, Manny. She is also survived by two of her three children and their spouses: Elizabeth and Thomas Marquez, Mario and Maggie Alegre, and Christopher Cain. Her sweet Ellen predeceased her on August 23, 2020. She is survived by seven grandsons: Scott, Jack, Ethan, Nicholas, Michael, Evan and Mattias. Edy is also survived by two siblings as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Edy loved family time, cooking, traveling, and socializing and dancing with friends. Until her stroke in 2007, she and Manny were very active with the Southern California Philippine-US Veterans Association.
Edy was a very generous and loving person. She will be missed by all who loved her.
