She came to Canada in 1987 where she took great joy in raising and guiding her grandchildren nurturing them from the time they were babies until she was no longer able to. Along with her husband, she instilled strong family values and the importance of religion. She was an amazing cook and looked forward to having her family come over for Sunday dinners. She loved planting flowers and vegetables in her garden and enjoyed travelling to the Philippines to visit her family and friends.
