Who loved to be called “MAMA/LOLA BAKET” (by her grandchildren, nephews and nieces) departed her loving family from natural causes on March 30, 2021.Mama Flor was born in Lupao, Nueva Ecija, Philippines on January 10, 1935 to Leonarda Tacmo and Iglecerio Narido. She was 3rd eldest daughter among 11 siblings. She was baptized at Independent Aglipayan Church in the Philippines. Mama Flor traits were always jolly person to be around; she’s always wearing her sweet smile on her face. She had a kind and caring personality. She is a church goer and religious person. Upon completing High School she began to work as dress maker in our country that makes her always popular especially to the seminarians. She works on the farm alongside with her other siblings so she could help out to her parents. She had to work very hard all her life to survive and to provide for her family. She enjoyed looking after her family and always put them first. She was a great story teller, frequently sharing many interesting stories from her life. Mama Baket is an inspiring example in our lives, a good sister, aunt, friend and grandmother to everyone. That’s why she was very much loved by her family and relatives. She taught us the importance of a Family, how to work together, love and help each other even life is too hard.
 On January 5, 2018 Mama Flor had an opportunity to be with her family again. Luckily she was approved by the Canadian Immigration as Tourist Visa to see the beauty and feel the cold of Canada. We keep on extending her stay with us here in Canada to spend precious time with her and to look after her. She enjoyed travelling and visits some of the provinces of Canada .She also had a chance to see the Canada-US border, she also love to go outside our deck to feel the fresh air during summer time and also carry around her when we go for fishing. For almost 3 years stay here in Canada, Mama Flor was very happy to be with us that everybody can see on her face.
