Agueda Duenas Obituary
Agit was born on February 5, 1934, to the late Candido Bodestin and Francisca Perez Damian in Hagatña, Guam, and was the oldest of 11 children. During high school, she met Jesus Ramirez Duenas, who eventually became the love of her life. They were married on November 22, 1956.
Agit had many interests and loved to bake, crochet, listen to Chamorro music, watch soap operas and TV game shows, and travel around the world. She often went to the mountains to get "ice cream," and could be seen in front of the "White Orchid" or eating shrimp cocktails at Bronco Billy's. She was a huge Mickey Mouse fan and enjoyed her family trips to Disneyland. Most important to Agit was being surrounded by her family, and embracing her Catholic faith as a strong disciple of God.
Agit is survived by her beloved husband, Jesus; children: Rick (Eileen) Duenas, Christopher (Yolanda Davis) Duenas, Marie (Mike) Shandor, and Sylvia Duenas Ferrara; grandchildren: Amber (Marco) Guest, Zachary Shandor, James Davis, Khrysten Duenas, Joe (Jocelyn) Davis, Brandon Duenas, Eddy Ferrara Jr., Ely Ferrara; great-grandson: Brennan Camacho; siblings: Ursa (George) Flores, Sylvestre (late Juliann Damian and late Helen Hively) Damian, Maria (Pedro) Esteban, Priscilla (late Milton) Ivey, Teresita (John) San Agustin, Virginia (Ben) Flores, Candido (Marie) Damian, Francis (Kathy) Damian; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her children: Edward "Pappy" Duenas and Jeanette Duenas; her brother Mario (Mary) Damian and sister Cleofe Reese.

I come in humble request to pray for my one and true God Mother. Although I'm not able to join the family in their moment of silence, grief and resolution, I pray for Nina and Nino and the family to come strong and be happy for all the wonderful, spiriutial, eternal love and tight knit families she graciously nutured in her lifespan. Let the Chamorro community rejoice for knowing her and being touched by her love. As the bells knell, remember and follow her lead. I will truely miss her and surely you will. God Bless this beautiful,generous and kind humanitarian. And, God bless the family in their time of sorrow. A safe journey home in the Kingdom in Heaven.
Si Rick and Medina Aquino and the entire families here in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Few people touch your heart and hold it close while they teach you, lead you, and love you unconditionally. Auntie Agit was one of those few. She embraced us as a new military family to Co Springs and stuck with us through the good times and the sad times. She and my Momma Linga were fast friends and loved the mountains! I can still hear her telling me to stay strong...assuring me that God is watching and everything will be ok. Si Yuus Maase Saina-hu! Si Yuus Gachong-mu! We love you dearly and will miss you more! To Uncle Jess and the entire family, she is gone from our midst, but remains in our hearts forever! ~Si Angie
