Angela G Lam's Obituary
Angela Gabuat Lam, 90, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2022 surrounded by her loving family.
She was born to Gregorio Gabuat and Antonia Masiglat on March 1, 1932 in Malasiqui, in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. She was the youngest among 5 siblings; Lorenza, Maxima, Florencia, and Teodoro.
Angela was married to Carlos Chua, a Chinese immigrant in the Philippines. Unfortunately, she became widowed in 1974 and became a single mother who raised eight children through hard work, selling slippers from town to town.
In 1980, Angela was petitioned to immigrate to the US by her deceased eldest daughter, Ada. Angela later petitioned her children, Susan, Ramil, Victor, Rebecca, and Maripaz, to join her abroad. Gilbert and Pearlita migrated to the US as well. As of November 30, 2022, all of her children are officially residing in America.
Angela was a quiet, but gentle and kind mother and grandmother. She liked to sing Tagalog and Panggalatot songs. Among her favorites were Paro Parong Bukid, Leron Leron Sinta, and Malinak Lay Labi.
She is survived by her 7 children: Susan, Rebecca, Gilbert, Maripaz, Ramil, Pearlita, and Victor. She was also blessed to have 12 grandchildren: Mario Jr. (JunJun), Ginalyn, Jeffrey, Macky, Miguel, Michael, Matt, Angelica, Danielle, Bianca, JV, and Henry."
