Fely was predeceased by her daughter Pastora and her husband Domingo, Sr. who was a Public School Principal in Baybay. Fely was herself a school teacher for 42 years. She was a member of the Catholic Womens League, the Daughters of Isabela, the Daughters of Mary Immaculate and the Legion of Mary. She served as Regent and District Deputy of the Daughters of Isabela in the Philippines. When her son Rev. Neil worked at Holy Cross Church in the Archdiocese of St. Boniface in 1975, and then at St. Edwards Church, Fely came over to Winnipeg as a landed immigrant in 1977 and made Canada her second home. Fely has been a spiritual powerhouse for those who request her to pray for their various needs. She is a firm believer in the veracity of the statement "More things are wrought by prayers than this world dreams of, because for God nothing is impossible". We believe that her mission now remains the same: Helping people build their spiritual future today. Viewing will be held on Sunday, September 16 from 6:00 p.m. until 12:00 midnight, with Prayer Service at 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. in the Leatherdale Gardiner Funeral Chapel, 1501 Waverley St. with The Rev. Dr. Neil Parado Presiding. Funeral Service will be held on Monday, September 17 at 2:00 p.m. also in the Leatherdale Gardiner Funeral Chapel, with Interment following in the Waverley Memorial Gardens. The Parado Family wishes to profoundly thank one and all for their support, specially those who were involved in Nanay Felys care. May God Bless them and their loved ones!
