Milagros Caballero Townsend

Pinka was born on June 20, 1943, in Manila, Philippines. She was the oldest child of Ramon Conui Caballero and Aurora Lorena Caballero. Milagros (Pinka) Caballero Townsend passed away peacefully on September 13, 2026.

Pinka was the devoted wife of Paul Joseph Townsend III; mother to her stepson, John Borja; stepdaughter, Providencia Townsend Borgstadt; stepson, Victer Ryan Townsend; and aunt to numerous nieces and nephews.

Pinka loved life, animals, and people. She said, “I never liked school”, however, she became an Interior Designer and an excellent cook. She also liked her Johnny Walker Black, but in moderation. In addition, she was a devote Catholic who attended Sunday and daily Mass and prayed the rosary two or three times daily. She had a smile that would lighten up any room. She will be missed, but heaven has a new angel!
