Remedios London, Beloved Oak Harbor Fil-Am Community Member, Dies at 92

Her great-grandchild carries her name. Santana Remedios London-Ramirez, the newest member of the London family, bears the given name of the woman who spent nine decades stitching together faith, work, and cultural life across Oak Harbor: Remedios "Remy" London, who died March 8, 2026, at 92.

Born in 1933 to Jose and Juanita Angel, Remy built a working life that moved through some of the most recognizable employers in the Pacific Northwest industrial corridor. She held positions at TSI and ATL before working at Boeing, a résumé that placed her among the generation of immigrant workers who quietly anchored the region's aerospace economy while raising families and maintaining deep cultural ties on Whidbey Island.

At St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oak Harbor, where a funeral Mass was held March 27, Remy was known for more than attendance. Her Catholic faith anchored her daily life; she kept the practice of praying for family members who had passed, a habit that spanned decades of loss including the deaths of her husband Nick, her son Rudy, and eventually her own parents and siblings. For the family she left behind, sons Jeffrey and John, John's wife Rose, and grandchildren Jesse, Jacob, Anthony and Michael, that constancy of prayer was as characteristic as her rose garden.

Crocheting and gardening occupied her hands in quieter hours. The roses she tended were as much a signature of her life as her work history or her presence in Oak Harbor's Filipino-American community, a network connecting residents across the island from Coupeville to the neighborhoods surrounding Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Her younger brother, Frank Angel, survives her, as does great-grandchild Santana Remedios London-Ramirez, a name that carries 1933 forward into the present generation.

Services have concluded. The funeral Mass took place at St. Augustine in Oak Harbor on March 27 at 10 a.m., and burial followed at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Everett on March 30 at noon.
