Remedios Squellati

Our dear mother, wife and friend was born on February 9, 1934 to Milagros Reyes and Narcisso Allegre in Manila, Philippines. She came to the U.S. in the mid-1950’ to attend colleges in San Francisco and Berkeley. California. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business, and also met her future husband of 54 years while attending school.

In December 1959, she married Clarence P. Squellati from Richmond, California and had three children. She is survived by her husband, three children, Marisa, Lorenzo(Karen), and Ana Maria(Gary), three granddaughters, four grand-dogs, and her own beloved pets, Mika and Tasha.

Remedios had many interests including being an avid gardener with an amazing green thumb. She also enjoyed traveling, cooking meals with her husband, attending new plays, plotting through crossword puzzles and learning new health regiments to incorporate into her life. Her favorite activity though was spending time with her family. She enjoyed traveling extensively with her husband on his business and leisure trips in the U.S. and with her immediate family to Spain, France, and Italy.

As a young teenager, she was extensively involved in ballet dancing and had danced in a number of performances in the Philippines, including the Nutcracker and Swan Lake. After coming to the U.S., she continued to engage in her love of dance attending many performances including flamenco, classic ballet and theatre.

Remedios loved her family and friends deeply, and will always be remembered as a kind, affectionate, generous and caring person. For those lives that she touched, her warmth and love will never be forgotten. For us, she will be dearly missed, but her spirit will live in our hearts forever.
