Maria Jenalen Laluna Robinson

Maria Jenalen Laluna Robinson, 55, unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, May 12, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion. Born on December 16, 1968, in Barrio Maganhan, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines, she was the beloved daughter of Loreta Torejas Laluna and Emererio Valenzona Laluna.

She is survived by her siblings, Angelina, Jimmy, and Marilyn Laluna, her step-siblings, and many nieces and nephews. She made it her mission to care for her loved ones back home, pouring her heart into every relationship.

In the Philippines, Jen met her first husband, Brian Robinson, stationed in the U.S. Air Force. They created a beautiful life with their children, Jasmin (Jonathon) (32), Danielle (Kris) (28), Zachary (27), and David (36). Her children were her life, and she proudly took on her role as Lola to Jade (7), Johnna (5), and Madden (1).

Jen later went on to remarry the love of her life, her “darling” Angelo Cialone. Angelo was dedicated to giving her the best life and making her smile every day. They would have celebrated their sixth anniversary this November. Together, they enjoyed vacations and romantic outings, and Angelo even taught her how to ride a bike. He encouraged her to embrace life to its fullest.

Beyond family, Jen was known for her unwavering loyalty as a friend. She invested deeply in her relationships and possessed a remarkable strength that never allowed life’s obstacles to stand in her way. When not working or spending time with family, Jen thrived on adventures with her girlfriends, traveling, capturing memories through photographs, and belting out tunes during karaoke nights.

In her passing, Jen leaves behind a void that will be deeply felt by her family, friends, and community. Yet, her spirit will live on in the memories she created and the love she shared. May Jen rest in eternal peace, knowing that she was loved and will be remembered fondly by all whose lives she touched.

Friends of Jen will be received Friday, May 17, from 4- 7 pm and Saturday from 1 pm until 2:30 pm funeral service at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, WV.

Pastor James Foglio of the Weirton Covenant Church will officiate.

Burial will follow immediately in Saint Paul Cemetery.
