Born May 1924 in Gapan, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Moved and raised in Apalit, Pampanga. Emigrated to Canada in 1980. Predeceased by her first husband, Attorney Rodrigo Pangan, and second husband , Engineer Oscar Cacnio. She lived a full and exceptional life, touching the hearts of all who knew her. Ima’s love for her family was immeasurable, a devoted mother to 8, grandmother to 17, great-grandmother to 15 and great-great-grandmother to 1, all of whom were deeply cherished by her. Her legacy lives on through her children, the late Lee (Manny) Espejo, Dulce (Ben) Balmadres, Den (Denise) Pangan, Baby (the late Noel) Deguzman, Rosa Cacnio, Jose (Doris) Cacnio, Connie (Stanley) Kus, Vicente (Flor) Cacnio, and the many lives she positively impacted over the years.
Ima's life was marked by resilience, and her willingness to help those who needed it most and an unwavering dedication to those she loved. A woman of great faith, she was known for her compassion and her industrious spirit. A true business woman ahead of her time. In addition to her role as a loving matriarch, Ima took pride in her business endeavours, her love of sewing and supporting her community by offering employment to many. Her selflessness was felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She lived a long unimaginable life by the values of God, family, love, and hard work. Her influence will be felt for generations to come. Ima will be missed but never forgotten. Her kindness, wisdom, and love will forever remain in our hearts.
