Everyone’s life is the sum total of all of the people they have met, the things they have done, the places they have gone. Estrelita was no exception. She was a loved one, a friend, and someone special. To family and friends who knew her best, Estrelita will be remembered as an exceptional person.
Estrelita’s life journey began on June 14, 1942. She first greeted the world in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Her parents' were Ciriaco De Guzman and Ligaya Morales. She was raised with 3 brothers Ciriaco De Guzman, Jr., Lito Napoles and Modesto and 3 sisters Virginia Luluquisin, Connie and Josie. Estrelita was usually involved in all sorts of activities with her family sharing many life experiences over the years.
Estrelita was a typical teenager who had a fairly happy high school experience, making that critical transition from adolescence to adulthood. She graduated from Philippine Stateman College in 1959. She also attended Central Luzon Educational Center (Nursing School) in 1965 where she became a Registered Nurse.
Falling in love is a huge milestone for any person. Just knowing that you have met that special someone is a magical feeling. Estrelita experienced that with Genaro Manzon Tagulao and the couple exchanged wedding vows on July 20, 1968. The wedding took place at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Chicago, Illinois. Empathic and loyal, Estrelita was committed to making her new family happy.
While everything a person does in life contributes to who they grow into, it is ultimately this same person who holds the most influence on the next generation. Estrelita was blessed with two sons, Genard David and Michael Terrance. Estrelita worked hard to be a good mother to her children and did her best to fulfill their needs, raising her children in a positive and nurturing environment.
