Dolores Aniciete Banaag

Dolores Aniciete Banaag, our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and niece, was born in the Philippines in a province called Pampanga on April 22, 1956 and gained her wings on November 8th, 2024 while on hospice care. She gave birth to 5 of us. James (son), Michael (son), April(daughter), Anthony (son) and Jasmine(daughter) My mom has 10 grandkids Austin, Kennedy, Alexia, Alison, Nathaniel, James, Ames, Angelus, Raylissa and Lilith. 1 great granddaughter Lincoln. Plus 6 fur grand babies Tanuki, Sky, Tonka, Cheech, Muffin and Debo.

Dolores was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer on August 18th, 2023. As the fighter she was, she fought until she couldn't fight anymore. The 3 weeks she was given left to live turned into 4 weeks and 3 days. During the first 2 weeks, we had the opportunity to enjoy life, cry, talk, and just be silly together. After that, the disease got the best of her and she slept for most of the days. She took her last breath on the evening of November 8th, 2024 at home where she wanted to be able to hear her fur babies bark and to be surrounded with love and family. May she now rest in peace with her loved ones up in heaven. We love you mom!
