Norma Policianos Caindec

She was born on April 3, 1944, in Tubigon, Bohol, Philippines, the daughter of the late Cresenciana and Eutiquiano Policianos and was the beloved wife of the late Cesar Caindec for 48 years, whom she married on August 16, 1975 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Norma was the eldest of three siblings.

Norma graduated from the University of Southern Philippines in 1965 with a degree in Food and Nutrition. She worked for two years as a dietitian in her homeland before relocating to the United States in 1972.

In the U.S., Norma dedicated herself as a dietitian at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in North Chicago, Illinois until her retirement. She also earned a master’s degree in Chicago, Illinois, where she co-authored three publications on topics of blood proteins and mortality rates.

Together with her husband, Cesar, Norma moved to Henderson, Nevada to retire in 2001. They were regularly participating in the Fil-Am Wednesday social league at the Southpoint lanes, where they enjoyed bowling. Despite her medical condition, Norma surprised many by winning the ladies league and the battle of champions against a formidable men's champion. Norma and Cesar shared a love for travel and explored many destinations together.

She leaves behind her sister, Ma Evelyn Policianos Fuentes, her two nieces and two nephews and one grandnephew.

Preceded in death by her infant brother, Romulo; parents, Crescenciana and Eutiquiano; and husband, Cesar, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
