Crispina (Alice) Duval

With deep sadness and profound love, we share that Crispina (Alice) Duval, 85, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 17, 2026, surrounded by family. She was born on Dec. 5, 1940, in Matnog, Sorsogon, Philippines, to Martin Gine and Paula Garbida. She was the seventh of 11 siblings and worked tirelessly, beginning at an early age, to help contribute to her large family.

On Dec. 16, 1971, Crispina married her knight in shining armor, Lee Duval, in San Antonio, Zambales, Philippines, and soon traveled to NAS Fallon in Fallon, Nevada, where Lee was stationed. Their 54 years of marriage were marked by unwavering loyalty, strong partnership, and enduring love.

Crispina was a beloved and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose life revolved around her family. She was a lifelong homemaker and built a strong foundation based on faith, family, humor, and hard work. She loved to spend her spare time fishing, playing video poker, and most of all, cooking, where the pantry and refrigerator were always fully stocked.

Crispina is survived by her husband, Lee, her daughter, Ora Lee (Mario) of San Antonio, Zambales, Philippines; her sons, Rudy and Ronald (Gemma) of Fallon, Nevada, her son Richard and his longtime partner Kim Hughes of Fernley, Nevada, and her son Rob of Reno, Nevada, her brother Salvacion, and sisters, Elena and Magdalena, of the Philippines.

She treasured her role as grandmother to Marianne, Angie, Kimberly, Roselle, Rhodee, Crislyn, Georgie, Geoffrey, Breven, Matthew, and Gabriel; and eight great-grandchildren, all of whom remained close to her heart throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Martin Gine and Paula Garbida; her brothers, Zosimo, Avelino, Diosdado, Argepino, Jose, and Andres; her sisters, Aniceto and Estelita; and her mother-in-law, Violet Duval.

Crispina Duval leaves behind a legacy defined by love, dedication, sacrifice, service, and presence. She will be remembered for her unwavering devotion, sweet grace, and the countless lives she helped through her charity. Her loss is felt deeply by all who knew her, and her presence will continue to be felt in ways both large and small every day.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Father Jose Sobarzo of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church for his spiritual guidance and service, to Northern Nevada Medical Center and Eden Health Hospice for their exceptional care, and to The Gardens Funeral Home for their professional and caring services to the family.

A private celebration of life service was held on Feb. 20, 2026 at The Gardens Funeral Home in Fallon, Nevada.
