In memory of
Fausta Yambalia "Nanay" Tilles
November 2, 1928 -
January 14, 2022
It is with immense heartache and sorrow that we announce the passing of our loving mother who was known to all as “NANAY". A devoted mother to her children Aurora, Ason, Abe, Alice, Annie, and Aida with son-in-laws Austin, Mike, and Ramil, daughter-in-law Lyn. Blessed with beloved grandchildren of Lucky and Lori, Maben and Tessa, Gieham, Adrian, Alyssa, and Alex, followed with great grandchildren as LJ, Marsha, Amara, and Carmelo. Nanay’s love and wit was also shared to her extended families in the Philippines, USA and here in Canada.
Born in Paoay, Ilocos Norte, Philippines on November 2, 1928. Courageously traveled to Canada in June of 1996 where she continued to build a strong foundation for her children and family. A woman of wisdom, positivity, vibrance, love and strength that resonates with each and everyone she interacts with. Her legacy will truly live on.
We may shed tears due to our loss or we may choose to smile because she has demonstrated the abundance of living.
We can close our eyes and pray that she may come back or we may seek an empty heart due to the idea of not being able to see her.
We can turn our back on tomorrow and live in the past or we may choose to move forward to make the most of what she has lived for.
We can remember her for the way she said goodbye or we can cherish her memories in light of her beautiful life.
Most importantly,
We can cry and close our minds or we can live in the way that she taught us.
TO SMILE, TO LOVE THOSE AROUND US, TO TRUST IN GOD, TO BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS IN LIFE, AND BE STRONG.
Our family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Humber River Hospital for their care and compassion during these difficult times.
In lieu of flowers our family request and would greatly appreciate donations be made through to hrhfoundation.ca - in her memory.
