Remembering Annie Fernandez

May 28, 1956 - Jul 1, 2026

Mary Ann Fernandez, lovingly known as “Annie” to her family and friends, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2026, in Hayward, California, at the age of 70. Born on May 28, 1956, in Pasig, Philippines, Annie was the cherished daughter of Vicente Singh and Apolonia DeGuzman. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from FEATI University in Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines. While working at Stanford Microsystems, Inc. in Manila, she met the love of her life, Rodolfo Fernandez. Their relationship blossomed into a lifelong partnership and they were married on December 18, 1977. Together, they built a loving family and were blessed with four children. In April 2001, Annie and her family moved to the United States where they established a new chapter of their lives and continued to create lasting memories with family and friends. Annie will be remembered for her warm heart, generous spirit and ability to make everyone feel welcome. Her kindness, easygoing nature and joyful personality allowed her to form lasting friendships wherever she went. To know Annie was to feel accepted, valued and loved.   She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures—watching her favorite Tagalog television dramas and Dancing with the Stars, enjoying Filipino cuisine, staying connected with family and friends through Facebook and traveling with her husband and children. She especially treasured her visits to the Philippines, where her gatherings became cherished family events filled with laughter, pool parties and abundant meals shared among loved ones. Annie had a remarkable gift for bringing people together and creating memories that will be treasured for generations.   Annie is survived by her devoted husband, Rodolfo Fernandez; her children, Rojannie, Annroj, Rojmary and RJ; her daughters-in-law, Rosaline and Rose; her sons-in-law, Sean and Joe; and her beloved grandchildren, Anngela, Jasmine and Rafa. She also leaves behind many relatives and friends whose lives were enriched by her love, friendship and generosity. Viewing services will be held on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and Thursday, July 9, 2026, at Fremont Memorial Chapel (3723 Peralta Blvd, Fremont, California) at 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Information for the burial services will be released soon.
