Obituary For Charito Nilo Cabantac
Charito was born in Manila, Philippines to Cristobal and Eufemia Nilo on August 8, 1951. She’s the third of 5 children and grew up in Quezon City. She immigrated in Canada in 1974 and lived on her own for 20 years before meeting her husband, Edwin Cabantac, in 1990, marrying him in 1993 and moving to the United States in 1994.
She supported herself through college, attending Philippine College of Commerce, the Philippine Women’s University and Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto, Canada where she studied business and majored in Human Resource Management.
Charito is an independent spirit and a critical thinker who believed in second chances and practiced self-reliance. “What does not kill you makes you a stronger person” she often said. She loved nature and worked behind the scenes to help and inspire other people. She took care of sick, unwanted animals, she mentored high school students on the importance of education, she did her part to keep the earth green, and she gave back to the community that nurtured her by volunteering. Charito is survived by her beloved husband Edwin Cabantac.
Loving sister to Alex and Edna. Children Eric and Cynthia. Caring auntie to Michael, Lyle and Carlo. Adoring grandmother to Alison and Liam Gerard.
