Esperanza Abaya, a loving grandmother and cherished member of her family, passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Her death has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her. Though she lived a private life, those close to her knew her for her kindness, strong work ethic, and deep devotion to her family and faith.
Esperanza, at 89 years old, had recently been facing serious health challenges, following a stroke two months prior. Despite a brave fight, the family was devastated to learn that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Her condition rapidly worsened, and in her final days, she was surrounded by loved ones, including her grandson, Janolan Endrina, who had been working tirelessly to ensure her final wishes were honored.
In the wake of her passing, a fundraiser was launched to help bring her back to Hawaii, where she had always felt at home and where she would be laid to rest beside her husband and firstborn. The funds raised will go towards the expenses associated with her burial, as her family hopes to honor her life and legacy with a proper service.
On Facebook, many have expressed their condolences and fond memories of Esperanza. Julieto Gonzales wrote, "I have known Nanay Esperanza as someone deeply devoted to God and passionate about leading her family into a saving relationship with Jesus." Others have shared their thoughts and prayers for her family, offering their support during this difficult time.
Esperanza’s family remembers her not only for her loving heart but also for her remarkable ability to cook the best Filipino food and for her skill in creating beautiful wedding dresses and clothing for her loved ones. A true matriarch, she gave everything for her family and was always there with a helping hand and a loving spirit.
We extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
