Victoria Rano Buenafe

Victoria will be deeply missed by her beloved husband, Arestotle, with whom she shared 41 wonderful years of marriage. She was a devoted mother to Rose (Chris), Roosevelth (Sarah), and Christopher (Carter), and a proud Lola to Jasper.

She is lovingly remembered by her siblings Romeo Jr. (Erma), Enrique (Lina), Romila (William), and Edralyn (Andy, deceased), as well as by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family both here and in the Philippines.

Victoria was known for being hardworking, dedicated, steadfast, and generous. She carried herself with conviction, stood up for herself and others, and brought warmth wherever she went. She loved cooking and will especially be remembered for her famous egg rolls. She also found joy in gardening and took great pride in supporting her community of Caranas, Janiauy, Iloilo Province, Philippines, both financially and through her active involvement.

Outgoing and caring, Victoria touched the lives of many and leaves behind a legacy of strength, kindness, and love.
