Aurora was born in Tarlac, Philippines and immigrated to Canada in July 1979. She married Ramir on March 26, 1983, where they made their home in Winnipeg and started their loving family. Aurora was employed with Winnipeg Photo - Life Touch and also worked part time at Stanley Knowles School in the lunch program for the last nine years where the children loved her. Away from work, she was an active member at the Maples Evangelical Church. As a Sunday School Teacher, an Evangelical Explosion Trainer and as the Past President of the womens group, she served as a strong spiritual role model for young women, mothers, family and friends. Aurora also loved to spend her time with family and friends travelling, teaching crafts, and cooking for family gatherings. She, most of all, loved fellowship amongst her family and friends. As a loving wife, a caring mother, a thoughtful daughter, an adoring sister, a helpful aunt, a friend who listened, and as a person with a faith so strong in God despite the obstacles she faced, there truly are not enough words to describe what she meant to the people around her. She truly will be missed. Good night MOM, well see you in the morning.
