Bernadette "Nhadee" Villaluz

Nhadee was a woman of unwavering strength, kindness, and compassion. Fiercely independent, she cherished her family deeply, showering her nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and grandnephews with love and affection.

Preceded in death by her parents, Virginia and Antonio, and her brothers, Angelo (Debbie), Enrico (Cathy), Cesar and Kennedy. Nhadee is survived by her siblings: Neory (Fe), Nida (Dante), Grace (Orly), Haydee, Ireez (Chris), Jenifer (Michael), Lordgina (Anthony), and Mark (Lucy). Along with many godsons and goddaughters, nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Nhadee loves to laugh often and found joy in music, and most recently the melodies of Taylor Swift. A deeply religious woman, she was an active member of her prayer groups, dedicating her time to prayer and intercession for her beloved family. She loved traveling and spending time with her family and friends.

Nhadee will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
