Nobilyn Vivian Arceo Marat, affectionately known as "Bing," passed away on August 10, 2023, at the age of 63 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and inspiration.

Born on November 28, 1959, in Manila, Philippines, Bing was the beloved daughter of Fernando Arceo Sr. and Norma Bijou. In 2005, she embarked on a new journey and immigrated to Long Beach, Mississippi, with her two sons, Paolo and Patrick Goot, seeking new opportunities and a brighter future for her family.

It was in Long Beach where Bing's true purpose was revealed. As a dedicated preschool teacher at First Baptist Church, Bing cherished her role in shaping the young minds of her students. Her patience, kindness, and radiant smile endeared her to all who knew her. Her classroom was a place of joy and laughter, and her students always sought comfort in her warm embrace.

Beyond her passion for teaching, Bing was a devoted wife and mother. She infused every day with joy and celebrated life's moments to the fullest. Her home was a haven of holiday spirit, and she went above and beyond to create a magical atmosphere that welcomed all who entered.

Bing’s strong will to seek and follow’s God’s word was a source of inspiration for many. Those close to her knew her for the daily prayers she offered for the sake of her family, friends, and even strangers. May Bing’s unwavering commitment to her faith serve as a guiding light to all who are struggling and seeking peace.

During the final weeks of Bing's life, she was touched by the outpouring of love and support from friends and family through phone calls, letters, cards, and visits. Their presence brought her immense joy, peace, and comfort, reminding her of the beautiful person she was and the impact she had on those around her.

Bing will forever be remembered for the love she shared and the happiness she brought to her friends and family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Bing is predeceased by her father, Fernando Arceo Sr.; and her late husband, Roberto Goot. She is survived by her mother, Norma; older sister Noralyn Koger; two younger brothers, Ferdinand and Fernando Arceo Jr.; her loving husband, Charles; and her two cherished sons, Paolo and Patrick.
