Lilibeth Cortez Baneni was born on the 5th of August in the year 1965 as the eighth child in a family of twelve, in San Pablo, Philippines. She grew up in San Pablo with the strong desire to please her parents by being the first in her family to graduate from University. She achieved this dream when she graduated from the University of San Pablo with a degree in Banking and Finance.
When she was in university, she joined the Unification Church and became an active CARP member. She was selected to attend the Blessing of 1989 but could not make the trip to Korea for the matching. In 1992, she was Blessed with Daniel Baneni, from Cameroon, Africa. After the blessing in Korea, Lilibeth returned to the Philippines, and then joined her husband in Cameroon, Africa in 1997. In 1999, the young couple were blessed with their first daughter, Crystal. In 2001, Lilibeth joined her husband in the United States, where they would have four more children, Martha, Daniel Jr., Lee and Jason.
Lilibeth devoted her entire life for her children and gave every ounce of her time and energy for her family. Lilibeth always put her family first and herself last. As her husband, I can testify that she is the purest soul I have ever met with a sincerity and genuine care for others that has no equal. She epitomized the phrase “to live for the sake of others” and took that as a personal motto. We will miss you Lilibeth, we will miss you forever.
