In Loving Memory of Teresita Arcenal

Teresita Arcenal, 61, of Toronto, Canada, passed away on January 12, 2025. Born on October 4, 1963, she was known for her kind spirit, carelessly giving heart, and unwavering dedication to others.

Teresita touched the lives of everyone she met with her smile that could light up the room and laughter that was infectious.

She is survived by her loving partner, Ruben Payongayong; her two children, Harrison and Justin Payongayong; and her daughter-in-law, Stephanie Bromwich. Her memory will be cherished by her family and all those whose lives she enriched.

Teresita found joy in camping, going on walks with her dogs, and spending time with her family and friends. She was devoted to caring for others and those she deeply loved. She will be remembered for being so unbelievably selfless and for her passion to care for others.

A viewing will be held on Friday, January 17, at York Cemetery from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and again on Saturday, January 18, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The funeral service will follow at 2:00 PM.

The family thanks everyone for their love and support during this difficult time.

I love you so much auntie Terry. We have the best memories especially all the times when Harrison said you treat the twins nicer than him as kids LOL.
I miss you so much. I wish I could hug you again and spend more years with you.
I'm already missing your laugh, your smile, and your funny jokes.
Inshallah we will meet soon.

Terry's bright personality was something I always looked forward to. Her energy was contagious and she seemed to go about each day with a vibrancy that I was impressed by (and jealous of!) She cared about everyone, even us, though I know that our presence meant more work for her. She always greeted us with a genuine warmth. I will miss her.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Terry, who touched our lives in such a special way. She was a source of kindness, warmth, and joy. Always friendly and upbeat, Terry had a way of making everyone feel welcome and valued, leaving a lasting impression with her generous spirit. I will forever remember her compassion and the genuine care that she brought to every interaction.
