In Canada she had to adapt to a new climate, culture, work life and initially being without family. As a family we give thanks to Estie for doing the hard work to sponsor family to come to Canada. Over the course of many years Estie was able to bring sisters Terry, Ely, Cora, Lucy and a brother, Joseph to Canada. Creating a new life and forming relationships and building careers contributing to our community. Estie was also able to bring mother and father, Teodoro and Catalina to see Toronto and know how their family were settling in a new home. In addition to family, Estie demonstrated generosity by opening her home to new immigrants to help them settle in Canada.

To Estie’s dear family,
Estie was a generous, kind and caring friend. She was always assisting those in need and driving parishioners, clergy and friends to their various appointments. She was a great cook as I have been to her home on a few occasions to fantastic Filipino foods. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.
Dear Family and Friends of Estie,
We remember Estie with gratitude and fondness, especially for the love and care she shared with her sister, Ely (Sr. John Marie). Estie was ever ready to help and lived with a kind and generous spirit.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who grieves her death even though we believe she is now enjoying eternal life. Estie would have had quite the reception when she arrived in heaven.
