It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Mrs. Angelina Altamirano on November 17, 2025, in Houston, Texas, at the age of 76. Born on January 29, 1949, in Los Angeles, Philippines, Angelina's life was a testament to the power of kindness and the strength of the human spirit. Her unwavering Catholic faith and her capacity for unconditional love defined her journey through life. Angelina was the beloved wife of Mr. Ernie Altamirano and the devoted mother of Mrs. Jennifer Kyaw (Mr. Nyan Kyaw) and Ms. Bernadette Carandang, both of Houston, Texas.

Angelina embodied this sentiment fully, touching lives through countless small acts filled with great love. Her example inspired those around her to strive for kindness and compassion in their own lives.
She was a cherished grandmother to Caitlin Kyaw (Chelsea White) of Massachusetts and Noah Kyaw of Austin, Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mrs. Luz Pamintuan and Mr. Andres Pamintuan, and by her sister, Josephine Pamintuan.
