She remained single throughout her life and was the family's extended mom. She was the eldest of nine children. Her sister Lourdes died during her teens. Her father, Bishop Juan P. Quijano, was a great influence in her life that inspired her to stay with her faith and active part of the Philippine Independent Church as president Women of the Philippine Independent Church (WOPIC) from 1975-1977.
