Her heart was on helping the family in the Philippines and friends.

For her “there is always a lot to learn more,” that’s why even at her late forties she went back to school to increase more of her knowledge.

Her warm, friendly personality allowed for no strangers in her life. She enjoyed cooking, listening to music, reading books and travelling. She made friends easily everywhere she went. Her bright smile and singing will be surely missed by all who knew her.

A funeral service will be held on Monday, February 15 at 10 a.m. in Saint Ignatius Catholic Church, 1288 Bedford Hwy. Committal at a later date in the Philippines.

Her family has stated that they will never forget her beautiful smile that lit up a room and always made everyone feel like there wasn’t a worry in the world.
