JACQUITA Gonzales, the wife of MH370 inflight supervisor Patrick Gomes, passed away today.

Her death was confirmed through a heartfelt post shared on the MH370 Families Facebook group, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of a deeply valued and steadfast member of their community.

"Very sad to share that our dear friend, Jacquita Gomez left us to be with the Lord on April 28, 2025

"She touched so many of our lives with her love, warmth, kindness and humility. She will be deeply missed by all of us who knew her.

"Let us keep her and her family in our prayers during this difficult time," read the post.

Jacquita, 62, was widely known for her tireless advocacy following the disappearance of the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 on March 8, 2014.

The disappearance of MH370 remains among the biggest mysteries in aviation as the aircraft has not been found despite the longest and most expensive search mission in history.

It went missing on March 8, 2014, 40 minutes after leaving Kuala Lumpur enroute to Beijing, with 239 people on board.

Jacquita's journey was marked by personal trials, including a courageous battle with breast cancer, which she faced with remarkable strength and grace. – April 28, 2025
