Nanette's pride and joy was her family, her daughter Robyn, husband Ralph, parents Juan and Leonila, her siblings Lolita, William, Albert, Juan Jr., and Alfred. She loved her nieces and nephews, most of them lived in the Philippines and California. Nanette was very close to her nephew Noah who lived close to Round Lake. He is like the son she never had.
Nanette was a great organizer and planner for events and celebrations with her extended family and many friends. Nanette and Ralph's home was always open to family and friends and there were many, many memorable events there. Nanette graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration at the University of Santo Tomas, in Manila, Philippines. She worked as an Executive Assistant where she was extremely well respected for her compassion and professionalism on the job. She last worked as an Executive Assistant and Caregiver for her dear friend Robert Boller.
Nanette is a light in our lives, known for her warmth and kindness. She will be missed and never forgotten.
